Reliable Non-return FunctionalityOur Foot Valve delivers superior non-return performance owing to its swing type disc design. Installed vertically, it permits fluid flow in one direction while preventing backflow, ensuring efficient pump operation and safeguarding against reverse water hammer. Hydraulic pressure testing and adherence to international standards guarantee reliable operation.
Durable Construction and Enhanced ProtectionCrafted from high-quality cast iron, stainless steel, mild steel, or bronze, the valve features a full-body flanged construction, ensuring durability and longevity. High corrosion resistance and a protective finish, such as painting or epoxy coating, make it suitable for use in harsh environments, further extending its operational life.
FAQs of Foot Valve - Flange End:
Q: How is the Foot Valve - Flange End installed, and where is its typical placement?
A: This valve is installed vertically at the suction side of pumps, typically at the inlet end immersed in water or non-corrosive liquids. Proper vertical installation ensures optimal non-return function and zero leakage.
Q: What is the primary benefit of using a swing type disc Foot Valve?
A: The swing type disc design enables smooth, efficient one-way flow with minimal resistance, automatically preventing reverse flow without manual intervention. This prevents pump damage and system contamination.
Q: When should the Foot Valve - Flange End be used in industrial or irrigation systems?
A: It is recommended for installation whenever reliable non-return operation is essential, particularly in pump suction lines, irrigation setups, or large-scale water supply systems handling water or non-corrosive fluids.
Q: What materials are available for this valve, and how are they selected based on application?
A: The valve is available in cast iron, stainless steel, mild steel, and bronze options. Selection depends on the required corrosion resistance, pressure, temperature, and nature of the handled media.
Q: How does the valve achieve zero leakage and high corrosion resistance?
A: Zero leakage is assured by a precision-engineered rubber or nitrile seal, while high corrosion resistance is achieved through choice of materials and protective surface coatings such as epoxy or paint.
Q: What maintenance is involved with this Foot Valve, and are any special procedures required?
A: The valve requires minimal maintenance due to its robust design. Routine inspection for debris and periodic cleaning are generally sufficient to ensure reliable performance over time.
