The GRACO 626578 STOP, FOOT VALVE is a critical component designed for use in GRACO sanitary pumps, specifically the SaniForce 5:1 series. It is typically constructed from materials compatible with sanitary applications, such as 316 stainless steel and elastomers like Buna-N, Polychloroprene, Nitrile, Nylon, or UHMWPE, depending on the specific model and application. Its primary function is to control fluid flow at the pump inlet, ensuring proper priming and preventing backflow in sanitary fluid transfer systems.
