South American Valve is the best Foot Valve Manufacturer in Mexico. We export to Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina. A foot valve is a type of check valve designed for use in a vertical position at the lower end of a suction pipe in a pumping system. It is a crucial component in various applications, such as water supply systems, irrigation, and industrial processes, where the pump operates to lift or suction fluids from a lower level.
The primary purpose of a foot valve is to allow fluid to flow into the suction pipe and pump during the suction or intake phase while preventing backflow when the pump is not in operation. It typically consists of a valve body with a hinged or spring-loaded flap, often made of rubber or other flexible materials, which opens to allow fluid to enter the system and closes to prevent reverse flow.
