Simmons 452SB Foot Valve
The Simmons 452SB is a bronze foot valve designed for pump and valve systems requiring reliable flow control. It suits installers who need a 3/4 inch NPT inline valve with a spring-loaded design for horizontal or vertical mounting.
3/4 inch NPT capacity and pressure limits
The valve handles water and steam pressures up to 400 psi and operates at temperatures up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. A low cracking pressure of 0.5 psi allows flow to start easily, while the bronze body and stainless steel strainer resist corrosion in demanding fluid applications.
Bronze construction with FNPT connections
The bronze valve body and seat provide durability for extended service in water or steam lines. Dual FNPT connections simplify installation into existing threaded piping, and the inline body design fits standard pipe runs without special adapters or orientation constraints.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/4" NPT threads on this foot valve match the 3/4" NPT fittings on my existing bronze pump housing?
Yes, the connection type is FNPT x FNPT in 3/4 in size, so it threads directly onto standard 3/4" NPT male pipe ends without adapters.
How can I confirm the 0.5 psi cracking pressure is functioning correctly once installed?
With the pump primed, slowly open the supply; the valve should begin to pass water at roughly half a psi, which you can verify by observing flow start under very low head pressure.
Does the box include the stainless steel strainer or must I order it separately?
The strainer material is listed as stainless steel in the specifications, indicating it is supplied as part of the complete foot valve assembly.
