Part 730-560 is a replacement foot valve assembly used in the fluid intake system of compatible airless sprayers. This assembly, located at the end of the suction hose, contains a check valve that maintains pump prime by preventing material from flowing back into the supply container. When the original foot valve becomes clogged, worn, or fails to seal, replacement restores reliable priming and consistent material flow.

The 730-560 foot valve assembly is a direct replacement component for the fluid intake system on 440 XC Airless_Sprayer, 550 XC Airless Sprayer, 660 XC Airless Sprayer, and 690 GXC Airless Sprayer models. This assembly attaches to the end of the suction hose and contains a check valve mechanism, typically consisting of a ball and seat or a poppet design. During pump operation, the foot valve opens to allow material to enter the suction hose on the intake stroke and closes during pressure cycles to prevent material from flowing back into the supply container. This one-way action maintains prime in the system and ensures the pump has immediate material available for the next stroke. A failing foot valve can cause loss of prime, spitting, erratic spray, and extended priming times. This complete assembly includes the valve body, check mechanism, strainer screen, and all necessary seals for a direct replacement. Regular cleaning and inspection of the foot valve strainer helps prevent clogs and ensures reliable operation.
| Prime retention | Prevents material backflow, maintaining pump prime |
|---|---|
| One-way flow | Allows material into hose, blocks reverse flow |
| Debris filtering | Integrated strainer prevents debris entry |
| Loss of prime | Pump loses prime frequently or won't prime |
|---|---|
| Clogged strainer | Strainer screen blocked, reducing flow |
| Failed check valve | Ball/seat worn, allows backflow |
| Damaged housing | Cracked or leaking valve body |
