The valve you can trust to keep your pumps primed. Philmac foot valves have been successfully servicing the Australian market for more than 20 years with a reputation for quality and reliability. Philmac’s Non-Return Valve is easily converted into a foot valve with the addition of a filter, the Philmac Foot Valve is the perfect choice for preventing back flow so pipelines do not drain and cause damage to high-value equipment such as pumps.
Now available in a new and improved format, the new model retains all of the benefits of the previous model, but with further improvements including the flow rate of water through the valve. Easily converted into a Non Return valve with the removal of the filter, the Philmac Non-Return and Foot Valve is the perfect choice for preventing back flow so pipelines do not drain and cause damage to high value equipment such as pumps.
Benefits of Philmac Foot Valves and Non-Return Valves
- Made from Advanced Materials
Manufactured from lightweight high high-performance thermoplastic materials which have excellent impact, UV and corrosion resistance. The material is non-toxic and taint free. - Multi-position Installation
The valves have been designed to work in either vertical or horizontal positions for flexible installation. - Low Pressure Shut-off
Designed to seal off at 20 kPa making them well suited to gravity feed systems. - Piston & Seal
The seal remains the same proven design which allows it to reliably seal at low pressure. - High-Pressure Rating
Foot and non-return valves are rated to 1600 kPa (static shutoff) to meet the requirements of high-pressure systems. - Flow Path
Improved flow path minimizing turbulent zones.
Installation of Philmac Foot Valves and Non-Return Valves
- Apply PTFE tape or approved sealant to the male thread the non-return/foot valve is to be screwed onto. Sufficient tape needs to be applied to ensure a water-tight seal.
- Screw the valve onto the male thread by hand until firm. Confirm the correct orientation of the valve by checking the water direction arrow is pointing downstream.
- Using a pipe wrench or multi-grips further screw the non-return/foot valve onto the male thread until tight. Where necessary ensure the male thread is held stationary to avoid it from moving. Do not use a pipe wrench or multi-grips on the body of the nonreturn/ foot valve.
