🧰 What Is a Foot Valve?

A foot valve is a type of non-return check valve installed at the suction inlet of a pump. Its primary function is to allow fluid to enter the suction line while preventing it from flowing back, thereby maintaining the pump’s prime and protecting it from dry-running conditions.

🔧 Key Features of Kirloskar Foot Valves

• Reliable Backflow Prevention: Ensures water or liquid stays in the suction line, preventing loss of prime when the pump stops.

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Typically manufactured with cast iron bodies and stainless steel or bronze internal components for durability and long service life.

• Low Start-Up Pressure: Designed to open at low differential pressure for smooth pump start-up and efficient suction flow.

• Integrated Strainer (Filter): Many foot valves include a built-in strainer to prevent debris from entering the pump suction line and damaging internal components.

• Compact & Easy to Install: Can be directly installed at the end of the suction pipe in reservoirs, sumps, wells, or tanks.

📏 Typical Materials & Sizes

• Body Materials: Cast iron, ductile iron.

• Seat/Trim: Bronze, stainless steel.
