Product Description
The NDS 1800-12 is a plastic foot valve screen designed for use with foot valves in water supply and pump inlet applications. The screen threads onto the foot valve body using a 1.25-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection, providing a coarse filtration barrier that keeps debris from entering the suction line and damaging pump components. Weighing just 0.05 pounds, this lightweight replacement screen is a standard service part for plumbing and irrigation professionals maintaining pump intake assemblies.
This foot valve screen is suited for residential and light commercial pump systems where suction-side protection is required. Common applications include shallow-well jet pump installations, sump and transfer pump setups, and irrigation system pump inlets. The 1.25-inch MIPT connection fits standard foot valve bodies of the same pipe size, making it a practical replacement when a screen becomes clogged, cracked, or otherwise compromised during routine service.
Key Features
- 1.25-inch MIPT threaded connection for straightforward installation onto compatible foot valve bodies
- Lightweight plastic construction at 0.05 pounds reduces handling effort during service
- Functions as a debris barrier on the pump suction inlet to protect pump internals
- Compact design suited for tight pump pit or well casing installations
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement screen for foot valves with a 1.25-inch MIPT threaded inlet, commonly found in residential and light commercial pump suction line assemblies.
Installation Notes
Installation and replacement of foot valve screens is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Before servicing, shut off the pump and relieve any system pressure or suction. Thread the screen onto the foot valve body by hand first, then snug with a wrench, taking care not to overtighten plastic fittings. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing codes for pump intake piping.
