It features an epoxy-coated cast iron body, a Nitrile (Buna-N) seal, a stainless-steel spring, a heavy-duty polyethylene strainer, and size-dependent guide and poppet materials for optimal performance. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi and a maximum temperature of 180°F (80°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Pressure: 250 psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Temperature: 180°F (80°C)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Epoxy-coated cast iron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuide: Ductile iron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoppet: Ductile iron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeal: Nitrile (Buna-N)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring: Stainless-steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrainer: Heavy-duty polyethylene strainer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnection: 3\" FNPT threaded (ANSI B1.20.1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 9 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model 63 Foot valves are installed at the end of a suction line to help maintain pump prime and prevent reverse flow when the pump stops. The internal spring-loaded poppet opens under forward flow and closes quickly as flow reverses, helping to minimize backflow and loss of suction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e An epoxy-coated cast iron body provides strength and corrosion protection, while the internal poppet, guide, and spring are selected by size to balance durability and hydraulic performance. The heavy-duty strainer offers a large open area to reduce head loss while helping to keep larger debris out of the suction piping. FNPT threaded ends simplify installation into standard threaded piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e General water distribution, irrigation, and light municipal or commercial pumping systems where a durable cast-iron foot valve is needed to help maintain prime, reduce backflow, and protect the pump from debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e3\" model uses a ductile iron poppet and guide.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flomatic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636593381539,"sku":"4766","price":212.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2058\/5123\/files\/Flomatic_63.png?v=1765481240","url":"https:\/\/dadepump.com\/products\/flomatic-63-foot-valve-3-4766","provider":"Dade Pump \u0026 Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
