PIUSI FOOT VALVE 1″ DIAMETER Part F00609000

Description

Piusi Foot Valve with Filter – 1″ Diameter

Part is original to Piusi.

Product Code: F00609000

The Piusi F00609000 is an essential suction-side accessory designed to protect your fuel transfer pump and ensure reliable, “on-demand” dispensing. Functioning as both a high-precision check valve and a primary debris strainer, this 1″ diameter foot valve is installed at the very bottom of the suction pipe or hose inside your fuel tank.

By maintaining a constant column of fuel within the suction line, the F00609000 eliminates the need for the pump to re-prime itself every time it is activated. This significantly reduces motor strain and prevents the “dry-running” friction that can lead to premature vane and seal failure.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated One-Way Check Valve: Features a high-performance internal spring-loaded valve that allows fuel to be drawn up to the pump but prevents it from draining back into the tank. This keeps the system “primed” for immediate fuel delivery.
• Stainless Steel Mesh Strainer: Equipped with a rugged, fine-mesh stainless steel screen. This acts as the first line of defense, capturing large particles, tank scale, and sediment before they can enter the pump’s internal housing or clog your flow meter.
• Heavy-Duty Brass Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, spark-resistant brass. This provides the necessary weight to keep the suction hose submerged at the bottom of the tank while offering superior corrosion resistance against Diesel, Gasoline, Kerosene, and Oil.
• Standard 1″ Female BSP Threads: Features a universal 1″ Female connection, making it compatible with standard 1″ suction pipes, telescopic down tubes, and hose barbs used in most industrial fueling setups.
• High-Flow Internal Geometry: Designed to minimize suction-side restriction. The internal bore is optimized to ensure your Panther, BiPump, or EX-series pump maintains its maximum rated GPM (Gallons Per Minute).
• Vapor-Tight Sealing: The precision-machined internal valve seat ensures a tight seal even under low static pressure, preventing the “priming lag” common with lower-quality plastic foot valves.

Technical Specifications

In any fuel dispensing system, “loss of prime” is the leading cause of service calls and equipment downtime. A pump that has to “chase” fuel from the bottom of a 4-foot tank every time it starts will eventually overheat and fail. The Piusi F00609000 provides a simple, mechanical solution that ensures your pump starts under load every time. Its brass construction and stainless mesh make it virtually indestructible in standard fueling environments.
