Foot Check Valve is designed to be installed on the suction side of a pump. The purpose of available is to maintain pump prime between pumping cycles. A strainer prevents debris from entering the piping system. They are designed to minimize head loss and optimize pumping efficiency.
Product Features
• Spring loaded foot valve for pumping stations, water treatment and supply, networks clean water, distribution, irrigation, and protection networks.
• They are an inexpensive way to maintain prime on a single centrifugal pump.
• It is designed with a 10% larger flow area (including heavy stainless steel strainer) than the pipe size to insure minimal head loss.
• The valve shall be globe style, flanged with resilient seal against metal; provide full flow equal to valve size and shut-off silently.
• A heavy gauge 360 degree, stainless steel strainer (not plated steel) having a flow-thru area of at least three times that of the foot valve flow area shall be connected to the outside diameter of the inlet flange.
•The foot valve provides years of trouble free operation at low or high pressures.
•Full Flow Foot Valves designed to have the high quality, long wearing construction necessary for valves that are continually submerged in a wet well and not readily accessible for inspection or repair.
•The seal cannot be damaged from compression and pump prime is always assured.
•Hydrostatic test pressure for seat: PN X 1.1, for shell: PN x 1.5 according toEN 12266-1.
