Foot valves

About foot valves

Foot valves form an essential component in pump systems, being specifically designed for suction. The valve allows liquid to flow into the pump but prevent it from flowing back when the pump is inactive. Filter foot valves have a built-in filter that prevents debris from entering the pump system, helping to protect the pump and the overall performance of the system.

A foot valve helps to maintain the pump’s prime, so it’s always ready for each use and doesn’t need repriming every time you want to start the pump. You can get plastic, stainless steel and brass foot valves, with these materials being both corrosion-resistant and able to deal with a variety of different working environments. The incorporation of a filter into foot valves provides essential protection for the system, helping to minimise the wear and tear and any future maintenance required.
