Matco-norca 527t05lf Lead Free Bronze Foot Valve 1 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 527t05lf is a 1-inch lead free bronze foot valve designed for use in water supply and pump suction systems. Foot valves are installed at the bottom of a suction line to maintain prime in a pump system, preventing backflow when the pump is off. The lead free bronze construction meets current safe drinking water requirements, making this valve suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pump system installers are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this type of valve.

This foot valve is suited for residential and light commercial pump installations where a 1-inch suction line is used. Typical applications include shallow well jet pump systems, sump and cistern setups, and irrigation supply lines. The valve seats at the base of the suction pipe, submerged in the water source, and holds water in the line to keep the pump primed between cycles.

• 1-inch connection size fits standard 1-inch suction line pipe and fittings

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and lock out the pump system before servicing or replacing the valve. The foot valve must be fully submerged at all times during operation to function correctly and protect the pump. Use thread sealant tape rated for potable water on all threaded connections.
