Heavy Duty Cast Iron Foot Valve Threaded Connection, Suitable for Industrial Water Supply

Engineered for demanding industrial water systems, the Heavy Duty Cast Iron Foot Valve with Threaded Connection delivers exceptional reliability in submerged applications. This robust valve prevents pump burnout by maintaining prime and blocking backflow, significantly reducing downtime in critical operations. Manufactured by Chengxin Valve Co., Ltd. with three decades of industrial expertise, it features corrosion-resistant construction suitable for diverse water sources including wells, reservoirs, and irrigation systems.

The valve's threaded design ensures secure installation while its heavy-duty strainer prevents debris ingress – a vital feature for operations in sediment-heavy environments. With certifications including ISO9001, ISO14000, and OHSAS18001, this solution meets rigorous international standards for quality and safety. Below are key technical specifications:

Key operational advantages include:

• Extended pump life – Prevents dry running by maintaining constant prime
• Reduced maintenance – Heavy-duty strainer captures particulates before entering system
• Universal compatibility – NPT threads adapt to standard industrial piping
• Leak-proof performance – Precision-machined seating surface ensures tight closure

For agricultural operations, this valve minimizes irrigation system priming time after shutdowns. In manufacturing facilities, it ensures continuous cooling water supply to machinery. Municipal water plants benefit from its debris-handling capability in intake applications. Custom configurations including different screen sizes and alternative sealing materials are available upon request.

Backed by Chengxin Valve's global distribution network spanning South America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, this foot valve ships from major Chinese ports including Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Ningbo.
