Foot valve

Foot valves are check valves with a strainer, fitted to the end of the pump suction pipe so that they stay submerged in the liquid. When the pump stops, they keep the suction line full by preventing the liquid from draining back, so the pump does not have to re-prime every time it starts. The strainer at the inlet keeps large solids out of the pump.

Advantages

  • Keeps the suction line full: prevents dry running and the need to re-prime at every start.
  • Strainer inlet: stops large solids before they reach the pump.
  • Simple design: opens with the flow and closes by itself when the flow stops.

Applications

  • Suction lines of centrifugal pumps
  • Systems drawing from wells, tanks and basins
  • Agricultural irrigation pumps
  • Fire water tank suctions

Considerations

  • Position the valve below the lowest water level and at a sufficient height above the bottom.
  • Clean the strainer at regular intervals; a clogged strainer impairs suction.
