1. The bolting pattern for Cast Iron ANSI Class 125 and Ductile Iron ANSI Class 150 are identical thus they are interchangeable.

general application : a foot valve is a special type of check valve that has a built - in strainer . it is installed at the intake side of a suction pipe and pump . its purpose is to prevent the loss of prime when the liquid source ( wet well ) is lower than the pump . prime is defined as the charge of liquid required to begin pumping action and priming is the process of filling the pump and suction pipe with liquid . the check valve part of the foot valve opens when the pump starts to allow liquid to enter the suction pipe and pump . when the pump stops the check valves closes and prevents the liquid from emptying . thus the foot valve eliminates the need to prime the pump each time it is started . the strainer component of the foot valve helps to remove unwanted debris from the liquid that may cause damage to the pump .
