Adjustable spring check foot valves are used in a variety of systems where back flow is not desired and where a greater opening pressure is needed. Common applications include industrial plumbing, elevated irrigation lines, swimming pools, spas, and more. These 1-1/2" adjustable PVC check valves offer a lightweight yet durable option for dependable valve performance in almost any system. Valves feature a tough PVC body with an adjustable stainless-steel spring (factory set at 5 PSI). To loosen and lower spring tension, simply turn the octagonal stem counterclockwise to reach desired opening pressure setting. Pressure adjustments are a ratio of 1-1/2 turn per 1 lb. pressure. PVC adjustable spring check valves can retain a column of water with 12' to 36' head.
