FOOT VALVE MANUFACTURERS IN INDIA

Speciality Valve is one of the most reliable Foot Valve Manufacturers in India offering top quality foot valves that are engineered for dependable performance in the pumping system. These valve are crucial for maintaining suction in vertical lift application. 

Foot valve is a type of check valve installed at the bottom (or foot) of the suction line in the pumping system. It prevents backward flow of fluid when the pump is turned off, ensuring the line remains filled for the next cycle. This self acting valve is essential for preserving pump efficiency and preventing dryness. 

Components of Foot Valve 

1. Valve Body: Made of cast iron, stainless steel or PVC for durability. 
2. Strainer Screen: Prevents debris and solid particles from entering the pipeline. 
3. Disc or Poppet: Moves up and down to control fluid entry. 
4. Spring Mechanism: Assists in closing the valve quickly once flow stops. 
5. Seal/Gasket: Ensures a tight fit to avoid leakage. 

Working Mechanism 

The foot valve operates through a simple check valve mechanism. When the pump get started, the suction force opens the valve, allowing water to enter the system. Once the pump is switched off, gravity and the internal spring force the disc or poppet to close- preventing backflow and keeping the suction line full. This helps in maintaining the pump and extends the life of the system. 

Advantages 

• Prevent Backflow: Keep the pump system primed for efficient restart. 
• Protect the Pump: Minimize damage caused by dry running. 
• Reduces Maintenance: Filters out debris to prevent blockages. 
• Energy Efficient: Reduces the need to re-fill pumps frequently. 
• Cost Effective: Long operational life with minimal replacement need. 

Functions of Foot Valve 

1. One-way flow control 
2. Pump protection 
3. Debris filtration 
4. Suction line retention

Types of Foot Valve 

• Spring-loaded Foot Valve 
• Threaded Foot Valve 
• Flanged Foot Valve 
• PVC and Metal Foot Valve 

Industries 

1. Water supply system 
2. Irrigation system 
3. Groundwater well 
4. Industrial pumping application 
5. Fire Fighting system 

Why is it required? 

They are required to trap fluid in the suction pipe when the pump is not operating so that the pump is not needlessly re-filled repeatedly. They also act as strainer by preventing dirt and foreign particles from entering the system. 

While known as Foot Valve Manufacturers in India, Speciality Valve also supports industries that require valve mechanisms for vehicles and machinery, working alongside foot brake valve manufacturers and truck foot brake valve manufacturers to deliver durable and responsive valve systems across various sectors.
