Description
Overview:
The Non Return Footvalve 5mm for Windscreen Washer Systems is a small in-line component that helps keep washer lines primed and ready to spray. Built with a robust plastic body and an internal elastomer seal, it is designed for long service in automotive and machinery environments. It fits 5 mm internal diameter hose and is compatible with 3/16 in tubing (approximately 4.76 mm) commonly found on many vehicles. By stopping fluid from draining back into the reservoir when the pump is off, it supports consistent jet performance and reduces strain on the washer pump. Suitable for cars, vans, HGVs, and plant or agricultural machinery with screen-wash systems, it is supplied under Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) 775 132 for easy identification.
Key Features:
- Fits 5 mm ID hose and 3/16 in (≈4.76 mm) tubing used on many washer systems
- Helps maintain line prime for quicker, more consistent spray at the jets
- Prevents reverse flow to protect pump performance and reduce cycling
- Durable plastic construction with an internal sealing element for reliability
- Compact, lightweight form factor suits tight engine bay installations
- Straightforward push-fit installation into existing washer tubing
- Helps limit air ingress, reducing sputter from the nozzles after standing
- Compatible with typical automotive screenwash fluids and winter mixes
- Low flow resistance for efficient delivery from standard washer pumps
- Suitable for passenger, commercial, construction, and agricultural vehicles
Typical Applications:
Used in windscreen washer circuits on cars, vans, HGVs, excavators, telehandlers, tractors, forklifts, and ride-on mowers. Ideal for replacing tired or leaking valves that allow lines to drain back, causing delayed spray or weak jets. Can be fitted during hose renewals or pump replacement to improve prime retention and overall system efficiency.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a check valve, NRV, anti-drainback valve, inline washer valve, foot check valve, non-siphon valve, or washer hose valve. These terms describe its role in keeping flow directed towards the nozzles and preventing fluid from travelling back towards the reservoir.
