2-Inch Cast Iron Foot Valve for Wells and Irrigation Systems

Description

Nothing’s more frustrating than losing your pump prime when you’re trying to water livestock or fill up the spray tank. A foot valve sits at the bottom of your suction line and keeps water from draining back down the well when your pump shuts off. This cast iron model gives you reliable performance season after season, so you’re not out there repriming pumps when there’s work to do.

What You’re Getting

• Cast iron construction that won’t crack or break like plastic versions do
• Leather flapper valve that seals tight but opens easily when the pump starts
• 2-inch size fits standard well and irrigation setups on most farms
• Threaded connections make installation straightforward with standard pipe fittings

Built for Real Farm Work

This foot valve is perfect for shallow wells, irrigation pumps, and any setup where you need to keep your suction line full of water. Whether you’re running a centrifugal pump for the stock tank or pulling water from a pond for irrigation, this valve keeps things flowing smoothly. It’s also handy for spray rigs and any other equipment where losing prime means lost time.

Made to Last

The cast iron body handles the wear and corrosion that comes with farm water systems. The leather flapper is tough enough to seal properly but flexible enough to open when water flows through. It won’t get brittle like rubber can in cold weather or deteriorate from chemicals like some materials do.

Good to Know

Install this valve at least 10 feet down from your water level if possible—the deeper it sits, the better your pump will work. Make sure the arrow on the valve body points up toward your pump. If you’re in freezing country, remember to drain your lines in winter or you’ll be buying new fittings come spring.
