UAE Valves is a leading Foot Valve Supplier in Dubai, offering high-quality valves designed to maintain pump priming, prevent backflow, and ensure stable suction performance in a wide range of pumping systems. Foot valves are installed at the suction side of pumps to hold fluid in the pipeline when the pump is not running, significantly reducing energy consumption and preventing dry-running. Their strainer-equipped design also protects pumps from debris, making them essential in irrigation, borewell systems, industrial pumping operations, water treatment plants, and municipal supply networks.
How Does a Foot Valve Work?
A foot valve is essentially a check valve installed at the pump’s inlet. It allows fluid to flow into the pump when suction is applied but automatically closes to prevent backflow when the pump stops. The valve typically has a strainer at the inlet to filter out debris, protecting the pump and pipeline from damage. This simple, self-operating mechanism ensures continuous operation without the need for manual intervention.
