DANKOFF SPECIFICATION // USA ENGINEERED
Foot Valve
The Dankoff Heavy-Duty Foot Valve combines a precision check valve with a perforated stainless steel strainer to protect solar surface pumps from coarse intake debris.
Positioned at the submerged end of the suction line in streams, ponds, cisterns, or shallow wells, the stainless mesh stops gravel, leaves, and sediment from entering the pump head while maintaining a continuous prime between pumping cycles.
Its durable cast-brass body and corrosion-resistant screen ensure dependable, low-maintenance operation across remote agricultural, livestock watering, and off-grid water systems.
