Description
Overview:
The Foot Valve & Strainer Cast Iron Type Assembly with 3" Steel Hose Barb Tail is a heavy-duty non-return intake valve designed for the suction side of water pumps. The cast iron body offers long service life in demanding site and agricultural conditions, while the integrated strainer helps stop leaves, grit, and other debris from entering the pump. A 3 inch (76.2 mm / 7.62 cm) steel hose barb tail provides a firm, leak-resistant connection to standard 3" suction hose when clamped correctly. By preventing backflow, it keeps the suction line primed between uses, aiding quick restarts and reducing wear on seals and impellers. Suitable for engine-driven transfer pumps, centrifugal pumps, and site dewatering pumps, this assembly is identified by MPN 834 300 and is built for reliable performance.
Key Features:
- Durable cast iron valve body designed for frequent use in construction, farming, and landscaping environments
- Integrated perforated strainer helps protect the pump from debris ingress and reduces maintenance intervals
- Reliable non-return function prevents backflow and drain-down of the suction line, aiding faster priming
- 3 inch (76.2 mm / 7.62 cm) steel hose barb tail for secure connection to standard 3" suction hose
- Hose barb profile provides strong grip for worm-drive or T-bolt clamps to help minimise leaks
- Suited to a wide range of water transfer and dewatering tasks, from tanks and bowsers to ponds and trenches
- Straightforward installation at the intake end of the hose; compact form factor for tight spaces
- Helps extend pump life by reducing the risk of abrasive particles reaching impellers and seals
- Robust construction for dependable service in both static and portable pumping setups
Typical Applications:
Used at the intake of 3" suction lines for site dewatering, irrigation and sprinkler feeds, water bowser and tank draw-off, pond, lake, and ditch abstraction, livestock water transfer, and flood or trench drainage. Suitable for clean to lightly contaminated water where screening is required to protect the pump.
