Foot Valve Vertical Female Thread

Price range: $189.28 through $1,485.12

This Vertical Female Thread Foot Valve is made out of lightweight and durable aluminum.

This SURE-FLO aluminum foot valve is for use on hose, pipe or plastic pipe.

The durable rubber flapper seats on a machined aluminum surface and provides a tight seal which minimizes leakage.

Unlike the old fashioned leather flapper it does not dry out or shrink when out of service.

Ample space is provided for the flapper to fold back out of the liquid stream thus keeping friction loss to a minimum.

The hump on the body must face up when it is used in a horizontal or near horizontal position.

Note: Every valve will leak if there is no head pressure pushing down and sealing the flapper. Head pressure comes from the vertical down pressure of the volume of water above the valve. The weight of the 4 vertical feet of head pressure will push down and seal the valve. Below is a diagram showing how to measure the four feet of vertical lift from the water surface up to the centerline of the pump.

Description

Description

A Foot Valve Vertical Female Thread is a specialized valve used in irrigation and fluid transfer systems to maintain pump priming and prevent backflow. It is designed with a vertical orientation for installation at the suction line’s inlet, typically submerged in water sources like wells, reservoirs, or ponds. The female threading allows for easy attachment to male-threaded pipes or fittings.

Features:

Vertical Design: Ensures efficient water intake and prevents debris from entering the system.
Female Thread Connection: Facilitates secure and straightforward installation with standard pipe threads.
Backflow Prevention: Equipped with a check valve that closes when the pump stops, preventing water from draining out of the suction line.
Strainer Functionality: Often includes a built-in strainer to block debris and particles, protecting the pump.
Durable Construction: Made from corrosion-resistant materials like brass, stainless steel, or durable plastics.

Benefits:

Maintains Prime: Keeps the suction line filled with water, reducing the time and effort required to reprime the pump.
Prevents Damage: Protects the pump from running dry, extending its lifespan and efficiency.
Easy Installation: Female threading makes it compatible with various pipe sizes and setups.
Enhanced System Efficiency: Ensures smooth and consistent water flow, minimizing interruptions.

The Foot Valve Vertical Female Thread is essential for maintaining reliable operation in irrigation and fluid systems, optimizing water delivery and protecting critical components.
