Installation Notes

  1. Disassemble pump manifold to access the inlet valve chamber
  2. Remove old cage and thoroughly clean the chamber of any debris or deposits
  3. Install new stainless steel cage, ensuring it is oriented correctly and seats fully
  4. Always install a new inlet ball check (e.g., 805-204) and spring with the new cage
  5. Reassemble manifold with new seals and test pump for proper priming and pressure

Pro Tip: When replacing the ball cage, also replace the valve seat (e.g., 762-137) and inspect the valve pusher for wear. This ensures all interacting components are in like-new condition for optimal valve life.

When to Replace the Ball Cage

  • During any inlet valve overhaul or complete pump rebuild
  • If the cage is corroded, damaged, or restricting ball movement
  • When diagnosing poor pump priming or inlet valve leakage
  • If upgrading from a non-stainless cage for improved corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions

The ball cage is a housing that sits in the inlet valve chamber. It contains the check ball and spring, guiding the ball's travel to ensure it seats squarely on the valve seat and opens freely, which is critical for proper pump priming and one-way fluid flow.
Stainless steel resists corrosion from water-based paints and other coatings, preventing rust particles from forming and interfering with ball movement or contaminating the fluid stream, leading to more reliable and longer-lasting valve operation.
The Bedford 44-3006 is typically the cage only. For a complete repair, you must purchase the corresponding inlet ball check (e.g., 805-204) and spring (e.g., 805-205) separately or as part of a kit.
Yes. A corroded or deformed cage can restrict ball movement, causing the valve to stick open (resulting in backflow and loss of prime) or closed (preventing fluid intake), both of which lead to pump failure or poor performance.
