UPVC Foot Valve
The UPVC Foot Valve is a non-return valve installed at the inlet of suction lines to prevent backflow and maintain pump priming. Designed with a strainer at the bottom to filter debris, it ensures that only clean fluid enters the pipeline. Constructed from high-quality Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC), this valve is ideal for use in water supply, irrigation, and chemical handling systems requiring durability and corrosion resistance.
