Brady check valves and foot valves have a unique patented design which allows for greater flow characteristics than in competitive valves. They may be installed in any position, and are sprin loaded for positive sealing. Made of acetal polymer, they are nonconductive, noncorrosive and will outperform and outlast most metal valves on the market. Not to be used in gasoline systems or to exceed working pressures of 175 PSI.

Use minimum amount of pipe joint compound and make sure that the arrow on the valve points to the direction of flow.
