Ductile Iron Foot Valve With Stainless Steel Screen PRODUCT CODE - ART 163

A Ductile Iron Foot Valve with Stainless Steel Screen provides a durable, high‑flow and debris‑resistant solution for preventing reverse flow and protecting pumps in water, irrigation and industrial suction‑line systems. Installed at the end of a suction pipe, it allows fluid to enter freely while stopping backflow when the pump is switched off, helping maintain prime and safeguarding equipment.

Manufactured from high‑strength ductile iron, the valve body offers excellent mechanical durability and long‑term stability, even in demanding or high‑load installations. The stainless steel strainer screen provides robust protection against debris, sediment and large particles, reducing the risk of clogging and extending pump life. Its corrosion‑resistant construction ensures reliable performance in both clean‑water and contaminated‑water environments.

The internal spring‑ or gravity‑assisted check mechanism delivers smooth, low‑resistance operation with a positive seal on shut‑off. Many models feature a full‑bore design to maximise flow efficiency, along with a bolted or threaded top section for straightforward inspection and maintenance.
