Chengxin Valve's Cast Iron Foot Valve with threaded ends revolutionizes water intake efficiency in industrial and agricultural settings. Engineered with a robust flap-type design, this valve ensures uninterrupted fluid transfer while preventing backflow in submerged pump systems. Manufactured under ISO-certified processes since 1993, it delivers exceptional durability in harsh environments – from irrigation networks to mining operations.

The valve's heavy-duty construction withstands abrasive sediments and corrosive elements, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Its precision-engineered threads guarantee leak-proof connections, making it ideal for retrofit projects and new installations across global markets including South America and Africa.

Key Technical Specifications:

Body MaterialHigh-grade cast iron (ASTM A48)
Seal MaterialNitrile Rubber (standard) / EPDM optional
Pressure Rating150 PSI at 100°F (higher ratings available)
Temperature Range-20°F to 210°F (-29°C to 99°C)

Operational Advantages:

  • Anti-clogging flap mechanism maintains optimal flow even with debris-laden fluids

  • Strainer-integrated design (optional) prevents large particle entry

  • 360° seating surface ensures zero-leak closure during pump shutdown

  • Hot-dip galvanized finish available for saltwater applications

"Our threaded-end foot valves reduce pump priming time by up to 40% compared to conventional designs, as verified in agricultural field tests across semi-arid regions." – Chengxin Engineering Team

Installation & Maintenance Guide:

  1. Install vertically with strainer facing downward (minimum 12" above tank bottom)

  2. Apply thread sealant compatible with system media

  3. Inspect seals annually; replace every 3-5 years depending on abrasion levels

With 20,000+ units shipped annually through ports like Shanghai and Tianjin, Chengxin maintains ready stock for urgent shipments. Custom configurations including non-standard threading (NPT, BSP) and specialized coatings can be delivered within 4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: What distinguishes flap-type foot valves from ball-type designs?

A: Flap valves offer superior debris tolerance due to their swinging disc mechanism, whereas ball valves require cleaner media to prevent jamming.

Q2: Can this valve handle saltwater applications?

A: Yes, when ordered with hot-dip galvanization and EPDM seals. Standard configuration suits freshwater only.

Q3: What is the minimum submergence depth required?

A: We recommend at least 3x the pipe diameter below water level to prevent vortex formation.

Q4: Are strainers included by default?

A: Strainers are optional. Specify during ordering based on particulate size in your system.

Q5: What is the lead time for custom sizes?

A: 3-4 weeks for sizes exceeding standard 1/2"-4" range, subject to order volume.
