Installation and Maintenance Notes

This valve is typically installed at the end of a suction line inside a water source, such as a well or storage tank, to retain pump prime and prevent reverse flow. Contractors should use Teflon tape or thread sealant to ensure leak-free NPT thread connections. Installation should conform to local plumbing and pump system standards.

Routine inspection of the screen and check mechanism is recommended, especially in systems with unfiltered or sediment-heavy water sources. Replacement of the valve may be required if seating performance degrades over time due to mechanical wear or scale buildup.

Ideal Use Cases

• Deep well and shallow well jet pump installations
• Suction lines in agricultural or turf irrigation systems
• Commercial and municipal potable water systems
• Industrial liquid transfer and holding tank systems
