Unmatched Durability & Performance

Built from premium materials such as cast iron, brass, or polypropylene and featuring stainless steel/brass internal components, this foot valve withstands harsh conditions and resists corrosion. Its precision-engineered heavy-duty strainer ensures debris-free operation, promoting longevity and efficiency across various industries.

Versatile Applications & Easy Installation

Engineered for use with water, oil, and non-corrosive liquids, this foot valve excels in residential, agricultural, and industrial settings where unidirectional flow and leak-proof performance are critical. It fits standard BSP threaded pipes, can be easily mounted vertically, and requires no electrical connection, ensuring simple, manual operation.

FAQs of Foot Valve:

Q: How do I install the foot valve correctly for optimal performance?

A: To ensure optimal performance, the foot valve should be mounted vertically at the end of the suction pipeline, fully submerged in the media. The threaded BSP connection allows for straightforward attachment. Make sure the installation site provides adequate suction lift (up to 8 meters) and is free from excessive debris beyond the capability of the heavy-duty strainer screen.

Q: What materials are used in the foot valve and how do I choose the right one?

A: The foot valve is available in cast iron, brass, or polypropylene, with stainless steel or brass discs and pins. For water and general non-corrosive liquids, cast iron is suitable. Brass is ideal for oils or higher durability, while polypropylene serves chemicals or lighter-duty needs. Choose based on your applications specific flow medium and corrosion resistance requirements.

Q: Where can this foot valve be used effectively?

A: This foot valve is designed for use in water supply systems, agricultural irrigation, oil pipelines, compressor systems, and other applications involving non-corrosive fluids. Its unidirectional flow and reliable sealing make it ideal wherever preventing backflow is essential, and where suction of up to 8 meters is required.

Q: What are the benefits of a heavy-duty strainer screen in this valve?

A: The heavy-duty strainer screen effectively filters out debris and contaminants from entering the suction line, safeguarding pumps and downstream equipment. This design enhances valve longevity, minimizes maintenance, and ensures consistent fluid flow.

Q: How does the valve maintain a leak-proof and corrosion-resistant operation?

A: The valves sealing is achieved with high-quality nitrile rubber/gasket, while its body and internal components are built from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. These features prevent leaks and ensure sustained operation even under harsh conditions and pressures up to 10 bar.

Q: What is the maximum temperature and pressure the foot valve can handle?

A: The foot valve is rated for temperatures up to 80C and maximum operating pressures of 10 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
