Foot Valve Suppliers in Saudi Arabia: Preventing Backflow with Reliable Performance

Middleeast valve is the foremost Foot valve suppliers in Saudi Arabia. It is a type of check valve that is typically used in fluid handling systems, such as water supply systems and irrigation systems. Its primary function is to prevent the reverse flow of fluid (liquid or gas) in a pipeline or system.

Main Components of a Foot Valve:

1)Valve Body – The external casing that contains all the components.
2)Check Mechanism – A spring-loaded ball or disc that stops backflow.
3)Strainer – A filter mesh which blocks debris from passing into the valve.
4)Inlet/Outlet Ports – Ports through which the fluid enters or leaves the valve.

Working Mechanism:

The foot valve operates by permitting fluid to enter the pump when the valve is opened. When the pump ceases, the check mechanism (ball or disc) closes to keep water from backflowing, thereby keeping the pump primed. This is particularly important in suction system applications where continuous fluid flow is required.

Advantages of Using Foot Valve:

1)Prevents Backflow: Necessary to prevent fluid from flowing in reverse into the system.

2)Maintains Pump Prime: Keeps the pump primed for efficient operation.

3)Durable and Reliable: Durable and designed to withstand high pressure system.

4)Protects Equipment: Prevents pump and other equipment from being damaged by maintaining fluid flow.
