Pegler 1 1/2" Brass Foot Valve

Key specs include an all-brass body, 1 1/2" sizing, locknut for secure installation, quick-release drainage, a satin chrome finish, a self-cleaning spring-loaded design, and a Teflon seat for reliable sealing and corrosion resistance.

It's suitable for high-pressure water systems, steam, and hot/cold water applications. It works with a variety of piping materials such as copper, plastic, and stainless steel when paired with appropriate fittings.

The self-cleaning, spring-loaded mechanism helps prevent debris buildup, maintains smooth flow, reduces maintenance requirements, and supports reliable priming even with fluctuating pressures.

Shut off the supply, prepare a clean suction line, position the valve on the suction side with the correct orientation, secure it with the locknut, and ensure all connections are tight. After installation, test the system for proper priming and absence of leaks.

Install within the specified pressure/temperature ranges and use correct piping materials. Ensure the valve is oriented properly for suction, and verify secure connections to prevent leaks and backflow.

Maintenance is minimal due to the self-cleaning design. Periodically inspect for corrosion, clean any visible debris, and replace the seat if you notice leakage or loss of prime.

Common uses include irrigation, industrial water transfer, automotive/manufacturing fluid handling, and any application needing a primed pump with backflow protection in suction lines.

This model emphasizes all-brass construction, a Teflon seat, locknut, and quick-release drainage for secure installs and easy maintenance.

Foot valves are typically installed at the bottom of the suction line with the valve facing the pump to allow proper priming. Use the locknut to secure the valve and ensure a leak-free connection.

Ensure the suction line is clean and free of blockages, submerge the valve adequately in the liquid, avoid running the pump dry, and leverage the valve’s self-cleaning design to minimize debris-related issues.
