We provide the best quality PVDF Foot Valve manufacturer & exporter in India. How does a vertical turbine pump maintain its priming pressures? Will there be no gravity after the pump is turned off and all the water will go back to its tank after the pump is turned off. Learn how foot valves keep pumps primed and prevent damage in this article.
In a suction lift application, the PVDF foot valve is located at the end of a pipeline. In addition to serving as a check valve, these also include a strainer attached to the open end of the valve.
Check valves have spring-assisted check valves and PVDF piping systems. Whenever a pump is turned on, the tension of the pump column changes, and the valve opens as a result.
Whenever the pump is turned off, the PVDF responds by closing the foot valve once again. As a result, the pump will not lose prime every time it is turned off due to leakage of fluid from the pump column.
The VZ foot valve allows the passage of fluid in one direction only.
• Connection system for solvent weld and threaded joints
• No metal parts in contact with the fluid
• Piston with incorporated counterweight able to work with high intensity
fluid
• Limited pressure loss. Only minimum back pressure is required for the
hermetic seal
• Valve material compatibility (PVC-U) with water, drinking water and other
food substance conveyance according to current regulations
• Can be maintained with the valve body installed
