general
application
:
a
foot
valve
is
a
special
type
of
check
valve
that
has
a
built
-
in
strainer
.
it
is
installed
at
the
intake
side
of
a
suction
pipe
and
pump
.
its
purpose
is
to
prevent
the
loss
of
prime
when
the
liquid
source
(
wet
well
)
is
lower
than
the
pump
.
prime
is
defined
as
the
charge
of
liquid
required
to
begin
pumping
action
and
priming
is
the
process
of
filling
the
pump
and
suction
pipe
with
liquid
.
the
check
valve
part
of
the
foot
valve
opens
when
the
pump
starts
to
allow
liquid
to
enter
the
suction
pipe
and
pump
.
when
the
pump
stops
the
check
valves
closes
and
prevents
the
liquid
from
emptying
.
thus
the
foot
valve
eliminates
the
need
to
prime
the
pump
each
time
it
is
started
.
the
strainer
component
of
the
foot
valve
helps
to
remove
unwanted
debris
from
the
liquid
that
may
cause
damage
to
the
pump
.

of concentrations, temperatures and flow conditions that may occur during actual service.
1. The bolting pattern for Cast Iron ANSI Class 125
and Ductile Iron ANSI Class 150 are identical thus
they are interchangeable.
