Value Check Valves

Overview

The VALUE COLLECTION 15495 is a strainer, skimmer, and foot valve designed for use in fluid handling and piping systems. Foot valves and strainers serve a critical role in maintaining clean flow paths by preventing debris from entering pumps, lines, and associated equipment. This component is suited for plumbing and mechanical system applications where sediment control and one-way flow protection are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical tradespeople who source and install this type of hardware. This valve is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a strainer or foot valve is needed at a pump inlet, sump, or low-point fluid intake. It functions to keep particulates out of the system and, in foot valve configurations, to maintain pump prime by preventing backflow. Installations may include sump pump pits, irrigation pump intakes, and similar fluid-management setups. Key Features Three-function design: strainer, skimmer, and foot valve in a single component Prevents debris and particulates from entering pump and piping systems Foot valve function maintains pump prime by blocking backflow Packaged individually for single-unit procurement Compatibility Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for residential and light commercial pump inlet and fluid intake piping applications requiring strainer or foot valve protection.
