Campbell 4101E foot valve
The Campbell 4101E is a 1 inch FNPT bronze spring foot valve designed for inline installation in pump suction lines. It uses a stainless steel strainer to protect the pump from debris while maintaining flow. The lead-free bronze body meets potable water requirements for residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Inline bronze body with spring-assisted closure
The valve body mounts horizontally or vertically and connects with FNPT threads on both ends. Its spring-loaded design opens at a cracking pressure of .5 psi and closes automatically when the pump stops, keeping the suction line primed. The bronze construction handles water pressures up to 250 psi and temperatures between 35 and 180 degrees F.
Replaces worn foot valves in existing pump systems
This unit replaces a failed or leaking foot valve that can no longer hold prime or seal against backflow. The upgrade is worth it when the old strainer is corroded, the spring has lost tension, or the seat no longer seals at low pressure. It is not suited for steam service or applications requiring a higher cracking pressure than .5 psi.

Questions about this item
Will the 250 psi water-pressure rating hold during continuous pump cycling?
The valve is rated for a maximum water pressure of 250 psi, which applies to sustained operation within the 35 to 180 °F temperature range.
Does the bronze body and stainless-steel strainer run hot or make noise when the pump runs all day?
The bronze body and stainless-steel strainer are passive components; they add no heat or noise beyond normal water flow.
My suction line is 1 inch FNPT — will this foot valve thread straight on?
Yes, the valve has 1 inch FNPT x FNPT connections that match a 1 inch FNPT suction line directly.
