Foot Valve

Foot Valve Manufacturer & Supplier in India

Allied Valves India manufactures and supplies foot valves for industrial and pump suction systems across India. Foot valves are a special type of one-way valve installed at the inlet of a pump suction line to allow forward flow while preventing backflow. This helps maintain pump prime, protect the pumping system, and keep fluid in the pipeline when the pump is off.
Our foot valves are designed for long-term reliability, easy maintenance, and dependable backflow prevention even in demanding conditions where debris, solids, or frequent pump cycles are involved.

Foot Valve Manufacturer in India

As a foot valve manufacturer in India, we focus on engineering valves that work seamlessly with vertical and suction lift applications. Unlike standard check valves, foot valves are placed at the foot of a suction line and combine one-way flow control with a protective strainer element to keep debris from entering the pump suction.
Our range of foot valves includes:

  • Strainer Foot Valves: Equipped with an integral strainer screen that prevents large debris and solids from entering the suction line while allowing fluid to enter when the pump operates.
  • Spring-Assisted Foot Valves: Use a spring mechanism that helps the valve close reliably when the pump shuts off, even in horizontal installations.
  • Gravity-Assisted Foot Valves: Rely on the fluid weight and inlet pressure to open and close the valve, commonly used in vertical suction systems when simplicity is important.

Our foot valves are constructed using durable materials such as Cast Iron, Cast Steel (WCB), Stainless Steel (SS 304/SS 316), and alloy options where needed. End connections such as flanged, threaded, or wafer designs ensure easy installation in your pump suction lines.

Industrial Foot Valve Suppliers in India

Allied Valves India is a trusted supplier of industrial foot valves across sectors such as water treatment, irrigation systems, HVAC applications, pump installations, and process plants.
What makes our foot valves suitable for industrial use?

  • Pump Prime Maintenance: Foot valves help keep the suction line full of fluid when the pump stops, so the pump stays primed and ready for the next cycle, reducing dry-run risk and protecting the pump.
  • Debris Protection: The integrated strainer prevents solids, sediment, and debris from entering and clogging the pump suction line.
  • Reliable Backflow Prevention: When pump operation stops, the valve closes to block reverse flow, preventing liquid from draining back into the source or reservoir.
  • Versatile Installation: Suitable for installation at the end of suction lines, in wells, ponds, sumps, or open reservoirs.

Using the right foot valve helps extend pump life, reduce maintenance, and support uninterrupted fluid handling in both industrial and agricultural systems.

Keep Your Pumps Primed and Protected

Foot valves are essential for systems where pumps need to stay primed and where backflow could lead to pump damage or system downtime. Allied Valves India supports industrial systems by supplying foot valves that combine one-way flow control with debris protection and reliable closing characteristics.
As a manufacturer in India, we also assist with basic selection guidance so the foot valve aligns with your pump type, suction conditions, and installation environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a foot valve and how does it work? +

A foot valve is a check type valve fitted at the suction inlet of a pump. It allows fluid to flow into the pump when it is operating and automatically closes when the pump stops, preventing backflow and keeping the suction line primed. Many foot valves also include a strainer to block debris from entering the pump.

Q. Why is a foot valve important for pumps? +

Foot valves help prevent pumps from losing their prime after shutdown, reducing the need for manual priming, and protecting the pump from dry-run damage. They also help maintain a steady fluid column in suction lines in applications such as wells, irrigation systems, and sump pumps.

Q. What types of foot valves are commonly used? +

Common types include strainer foot valves with integrated screens, spring-assisted foot valves for more reliable closure, and gravity-assisted foot valves for vertical installations. The selection depends on fluid conditions, debris load, and installation orientation.
