Product Introduction

Product Overview

 

Ductile Iron Foot Valve is a bottom-mounted check valve designed to prevent reverse flow and maintain pump priming in suction pipelines. It is commonly used in water intake and transfer systems. The valve reduces backflow-related downtime and supports stable system operation.

 

Ductile Iron Foot Valve

 

Key Features

 

Ductile iron body provides high mechanical strength and impact resistance for long-term pipeline service.
 

SS304 strainer blocks debris and solids from entering the suction line, reducing pump wear and maintenance frequency.
 

EPDM-covered disc delivers reliable sealing performance and minimizes leakage during shutoff.
 

Stainless steel spring and stem improve corrosion resistance in water and sewage applications.
 

PN10/PN16/PN25 pressure ratings allow flexible selection for different operating conditions.

FAQ

 

Q: Is OEM manufacturing available?

A: Yes. OEM production can include logo marking, labels, packaging, and technical specifications.

Q: What is the standard production lead time?

A: Lead time depends on quantity, specifications, and production schedule. Standard orders typically require 15–30 days.

Q: Does installation direction matter?

A: Yes. The valve should be installed at the suction line inlet according to the indicated flow direction.

Q: How should the correct pressure rating be selected?

A: Pressure rating selection should consider system operating pressure, surge conditions, and safety requirements.

Q: How does a foot valve work?

A: The valve opens during pump operation to allow fluid flow into the suction line and automatically closes when flow stops, preventing reverse flow and maintaining pump priming.
