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