Product Description
The Graco 15A968 Carbide Seat Foot Valve is a premium‑grade internal valve seat designed for foot valve assemblies that handle demanding fluid conditions, chemical exposure, or abrasive media. This carbide‑seat version offers exceptional durability, minimal wear, and extended service life when compared to standard seats.
Precision‑machined from carbide material, the seat delivers superior resistance to erosion, impact and cyclic loading. In foot valve applications it supports optimal sealing at the inlet point, prevents reverse flow, and ensures consistent system priming and pump protection. Ideal for heavy‑duty usage, the 15A968 enhances reliability where regular seats would degrade prematurely.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Ensure system pressure is relieved and equipment is safe before servicing the foot valve assembly.
- Remove the old seat and inspect the valve body for any damage, wear or corrosion before installing the 15A968.
- Place the carbide seat properly, ensuring flush fit and correct orientation; avoid damaging the carbide surface with tools.
- When reassembling the valve, check the mating ball/disc and sealing surfaces for scores or damage – replace if necessary to avoid premature failure.
- After installation, cycle the pump or system under controlled conditions to verify no leakage occurs and the foot valve priming works correctly.
