Foot Valves
The valves can be supplied in a wide range of finishes to accommodate an almost inexhaustible range of fluids, with or without solids. Foot valves remain absolutely drop tight after priming, even in muddy and environmentally soiled reservoirs.
Users normally prefer to construct their own strainers around the valve, so the units are supplied more often without the strainer. In cases of severe debris, clogging may occur, and an additional secondary strainer around the valve may be advisable.
The secondary strainer can for instance be a chicken wire screen positioned radially 500mm to 800mm around the foot valve.
Can be used in Slurries, Mine drainage, Water supply, Cooling towers, Clean Water, Acids & Alkalines.
