A foot valve is a check valve, typically installed at the bottom of a suction pipe or well, that prevents water from flowing backward when the pump is off, thus keeping it primed.
Features
:- Prevents Backflow: The primary function is to maintain a water column in the suction line, preventing water from draining back into the well or source when the pump is off.
- Durable Materials: They are made up of Polypropylene, which offer good resistance to corrosion and wear, especially in well systems.
- Easy Installation: foot valves have self-tapping threads for easy installation.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other types of valves, foot valves are generally more affordable.
Applications
:- Used in Pumps, Well pumps, Water treatment plants, Industrial applications, Agriculture
