PULSAtron J61237 Foot Valve & Strainer Assembly
PULSAtron J61237 foot valve and strainer assembly for compatible chemical metering pumps, designed to support reliable suction, priming and chemical feed.
The PULSAtron J61237 is a foot valve and strainer assembly designed for compatible chemical metering pump installations. Installed at the end of the suction tubing, the assembly helps maintain proper chemical flow while reducing the entry of debris into the suction line.
The foot valve provides a one-way check-valve function that helps keep chemical in the suction line when the pump is not actively drawing fluid. The integrated strainer helps prevent larger particles and debris from entering the tubing and reaching the pump liquid end.

Foot Valve Function
The J61237 foot valve is installed near the bottom of the chemical supply container at the end of the suction tubing. During pump operation, chemical is drawn through the valve and into the suction line.
When suction stops, the check-valve action helps prevent chemical from draining backward out of the tubing. Maintaining chemical in the suction line can help the metering pump retain prime and resume chemical delivery more reliably.
Integrated Strainer
The integrated strainer provides an additional level of protection for the chemical feed system. It helps reduce the possibility of larger debris entering the suction tubing and interfering with check valves or other liquid-end components.

Role in Chemical Metering
Reliable suction is essential for consistent diaphragm metering pump operation. A properly functioning foot valve helps maintain a filled suction line while the strainer helps protect the pump from contaminants that could interfere with liquid-end operation.
Maintenance & Inspection
Inspect the foot valve and strainer periodically for chemical deposits, debris, restricted flow or worn valve components. The strainer should remain clean enough to allow unrestricted chemical flow into the suction line.
If the pump has difficulty maintaining prime or experiences reduced chemical output, the suction tubing, foot valve and strainer should be included as part of the system inspection.
Compatibility
Always verify the complete PULSAtron pump model, liquid-end configuration and tubing requirements before selecting the J61237 foot valve and strainer assembly.
