Merrill MFG FVNL100 710 Series 1 Inch Brass Foot Valve – Lead-Free Female Connection Foot Valve for Irrigation and Water Pump Priming

This is well made brass. The foot valve works well and holds pressure. Glad I bought it.

I originally gave this a 1-star review, because it wouldn't hold prime. But I double-checked my connections, and the hose clamps at the fitting going into the foot valve were a little loose. After I tightened them, it's been working great!

Perfect

Perfect foot valve for a small transfer pump.

Easy to connection to intake hose

Well built, but most importantly it works well.

item too small. Returned

Works perfectly drawing water from lake through shallow well pump to water lawn. Pump produces 50 ft diameter circle of water at a lift of 25 feet from pump. I laid valve on cement pad that helps keep it out of the mud and free of vegetation in lake from blocking water flow. Attached foot valve to 1 1/2 inch flexible hose to pump ( bought sump pump hose at Menards 25 ft for $6)
