Suction & Prime Aid (Foot Valves)

Foot valves with integrated suction strainers and non-return action for water pumping systems. Installed at the submerged inlet of a suction pipe, they help retain water in the line when the pump stops, maintaining prime for the next start. The strainer screens out larger debris before it enters the pipework. Choose cast iron, ductile iron or stainless steel models, with BSP threaded and flanged connections available across the range. Check the required flow rate, connection size, installation orientation and material compatibility. Our technical team can help you select a suitable valve for your pump system.
