Plastic Foot Valve – 1‑1/4 in (Model PFV125)

The PFV125 1‑1/4 Inch Plastic Foot Valve is a lightweight, corrosion‑resistant check valve designed to maintain pump prime and prevent backflow in water suction lines. Installed at the end of an intake pipe, this foot valve allows water to flow toward the pump while automatically closing when the pump shuts off, keeping the suction line full and ready for the next cycle.

Constructed from durable plastic materials, the PFV125 is ideal for applications where resistance to rust, corrosion, and chemical exposure is required. It provides dependable performance in residential, agricultural, and utility water systems while offering a cost‑effective alternative to metal foot valves.

Product Description

The PFV125 Plastic Foot Valve is engineered to support reliable pump performance by maintaining suction line prime and preventing reverse flow. Positioned at the bottom of the intake pipe, the valve opens when the pump is running, allowing water to flow into the system. When the pump shuts off, the valve closes automatically, holding water in the line and preventing air from entering.

Its plastic construction resists corrosion, scale buildup, and chemical degradation, making it well suited for use in wells, cisterns, tanks, and water transfer systems. The lightweight design simplifies installation while still providing dependable sealing and long‑term reliability under normal operating conditions.

This foot valve is commonly used with shallow well pumps, jet pumps, irrigation systems, and general water transfer applications.
