Foot Valve

Essence: A one-way check valve designed specifically for the bottom of pump suction pipes to prevent liquid backflow and maintain the water filling state inside the pump.


Core functions:

Anti backflow: The valve disc (such as rubber disc, spring assisted metal disc) opens and closes unidirectionally to block the medium backflow during shutdown and prevent the pump body from idling;

Anti clogging: The bottom is often equipped with a filter screen structure to intercept impurities (such as sediment and debris), protect the pump body and pipelines;

Typical design:

Straight through/right angle, flange or threaded connection, mostly made of cast iron or stainless steel (corrosion-resistant);

Low flow resistance design reduces suction loss and is suitable for low viscosity media such as water and oil.

Application scenarios: Centrifugal pump suction inlet, farmland irrigation, ship ballast water system, chemical liquid transportation and other self-priming pump systems.

  • Compact and easy to maintain structure
  • Compatibility of corrosion-resistant materials
  • Low flow resistance optimized structure
  • Anti clogging filter design
  • Efficient anti backflow mechanism

    Typical application scenarios
    Centrifugal pump systems that require anti backflow and self-priming capabilities, such as agricultural irrigation pumps, chemical liquid transfer pumps, and ship ballast pumps.
Compatibility of corrosion-resistant materials
  • Compatibility of corrosion-resistant materials
    01
    The valve body and key components are made of corrosion-resistant materials such as cast iron and stainless steel, which are suitable for acidic and alkaline environments as well as corrosive media such as seawater, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
Low flow resistance optimized structure
  • Low flow resistance optimized structure
    01
    Adopting a straight through/right angle flow channel design, reducing the resistance of the suction pipeline, adapting to low viscosity media such as clean water and oil, and reducing the suction loss of the pump.
Anti clogging filter design
  • Anti clogging filter design
    01
    The bottom of the valve body is integrated with a multi-layer filter structure, effectively intercepting impurities such as sediment and debris, preventing blockage of the pump body and pipelines, and extending the service life of the equipment.
Efficient anti backflow mechanism
  • Efficient anti backflow mechanism
    01
    Adopting a one-way opening and closing structure with rubber or spring assisted metal flaps to block liquid backflow during shutdown, prevent pump body from idling and maintain water injection state, and improve the stability of pump system operation.
