Range Of Footvalves & Strainers
What is a Foot Valve & Strainer?
Foot valves maintain a pump’s priming, preventing the pump from burning out. They are a type of check valve used at the end of the suction line of a pump. Foot-valves and suction inlet strainers The one-way foot valve aids in priming the pump. Strainer functions as a basic filter, preventing rust or debris from entering the tank and safeguarding the pump’s internals.
When attached to the foot or end of the suction pipe of a pump set, foot-valves are used to prevent reverse flow and maintain prime within the pump.
The footvalve’s primary components are the body, flap, seat, and strainer.
The swing flap freely pivots on its hinge blocks. Its movement is restricted by stops to prevent damage to the valve’s inner walls.
Expertly Designed & Manufactured
The flap is equipped with a resilient EPDM seal for dependable service, and the flap assembly is self-leveling to accommodate wear within the seal.
The valve is equipped with a quick-release lever that can be activated remotely via cable to release the water contained within the valve.

It's exceeded our expectations. High quality, we don't need any counter weights and it's easy to set up. It's been in operation for 6 months now with no hassles, we've got quite a substantial pump driving water to the standpipe and we haven't any issues. Overall quality & reliability supplied by Liquimech has been very impressive.
