This Dixon DFVS series complete foot valve assembly has female NPT threads to connect to a male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection for a tighter seal than straight threads. It is made of carbon steel for hardness and strength with a rubber valve in the flapper assembly to keep water in the valve when the pump stops pumping (priming the pump) and a strainer to keep debris from entering the system. It is painted to reduce corrosion. It must be installed in a vertical position. This foot valve is used to keep a pump primed in liquid flow applications.

Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.

Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories. The company, founded in 1916, is headquartered in Chestertown, MD.
