About On/Off Valves

Threaded On/Off Valves with Easy-Access Strainer

A built-in strainer traps debris and allows you to replace the screen without disconnecting your pipeline. These valves have a T-handle or lever that resists accidental movement when snagged or bumped. They are full port, so they do not restrict flow.

Nickel-plated brass valves are more corrosion resistant than plain brass valves.

Suction Strainers with Backflow-Prevention Valve

For Use With:
Bronze Connection: Water
Iron Connection: Water and Oil
PVC Connection: Water, Oil, and Diesel Fuel
Max. Pressure:
Bronze Connection: 400 psi
Iron Connection: 10 psi
PVC Connection: 150 psi
Temp. Range:
Bronze Connection: 32° to 190° F
Iron Connection: 32° to 150° F
PVC Connection: 40° to 140° F

Also known as foot valves, these strainers stop particles from entering your line while preventing backward flow. They are commonly used with reservoirs and tanks.

Strainers with bronze or PVC connection have better corrosion resistance than strainers with an iron connection; bronze strainers are often used in water-delivery applications.

Strainers with two union end connections allow for easy access to your line; they come with either two threaded pipe connections or one socket-connect pipe connection and one threaded pipe connection.

Strainers with socket-connect pipe connection attach to unthreaded pipe with cement for a permanent, leak-tight connection.

Strainers with male and female threaded pipe connection have threads on the outside and inside of the fitting for connecting to either male or female threaded pipe.

Cut-to-Size Suction Strainers with Backflow-Prevention Valve

For Use With: Water
Temp. Range: 32° to 180° F

A convenient replacement part to keep on hand, this strainer has NPT male threads for a variety of pipe sizes. Use a hacksaw to remove the pipe sizes that are smaller than you need. Also known as a foot valve, this strainer stops particles from entering your line while preventing backward flow. It is commonly used with reservoirs and tanks. It has an acetal connection, which is corrosion resistant and lightweight.
