A foot valve flanged is a specific type of check valve installed at the bottom of a pump suction line. Its primary function is to maintain pump prime by preventing water from flowing back out of the suction pipe. Unlike a standard check valve, it almost always includes an integrated strainer at the inlet to filter debris and protect the pump.

Generally, the flanged foot valve should match your suction pipe diameter. However, for optimal performance, it is often recommended to select a valve one size larger than the pump suction nozzle to reduce flow velocity and friction loss at the valve inlet. Our engineers can help you calculate the correct size based on your flow rate (GPM) and total dynamic head (TDH).

Yes, absolutely. We manufacture custom flanged foot valves to match ANSI B16.42 Class 150 and Class 300 standards, as well as DIN PN10/PN16. We can accommodate specific bolt hole patterns and face-to-face dimensions for OEM replacements.

For standard sizes (2"-12") in common materials like cast iron or ductile iron, our MOQ is typically low. We can accommodate sample orders for testing and qualification. For larger sizes or custom materials like stainless steel, we can discuss your project needs. Contact us for your specific requirements.

Our standard lead time for bulk orders of industrial foot valves is 15-30 days. For urgent projects, we offer an expedited service that can ship within 10-15 days. We have regular shipping routes to major US ports (Houston, Los Angeles, New York), which typically take 20-30 days sea freight.

We stand behind our manufacturing quality. All our foot valve flanged products come with a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. If a valve fails due to a manufacturing issue, we will replace it promptly.
