Check and Bleeder Valve

The Check and Bleeder Valve is a valuable tool when using portable pumps that are pumping to higher elevations. The valve is attached to the discharge of the pump. When the pump is shut down, a clapper valve closes and holds the water in the elevated hose line. When the pump is restarted, the Bleeder Valve is opened. This allows the pump to be started without back pressure from the hose line. When the engine reaches full speed, the bypass valve is closed, allowing all water to enter the hose line. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, hard anodized finish. Only 6¼” long.
