ABS Foot Valve

The ABS Foot Valve is a check valve installed at the inlet of a suction pipe, typically in pumping systems, to prevent backflow and retain prime. Constructed from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), it features a built-in strainer to block debris, ensuring clean and consistent fluid intake. Lightweight yet durable, it is ideal for water transfer, irrigation, and other low-pressure fluid applications in industrial and commercial environments.

Key Features of ABS Foot Valve

  • Built-In Strainer Screen
    Prevents debris from entering the pipeline and damaging pumps or system components.
  • One-Way Flow Design
    Allows fluid intake while automatically closing to prevent reverse flow and loss of prime.
  • Corrosion and Chemical Resistant
    Ideal for use in water, non-aggressive chemicals, and mildly corrosive environments.
  • Durable ABS Construction
    Provides high impact strength, dimensional stability, and long service life.
  • Easy Installation
    Lightweight design simplifies handling and installation in vertical suction lines.
  • Low Cracking Pressure
    Opens easily under minimal suction pressure for efficient pump operation.
