Foot valves are a type of check valve used in plumbing systems to prevent backflow of water and maintain a prime in pumps. They are typically installed at the bottom of a suction line, allowing water to enter the pump while preventing it from flowing back out when the pump is turned off. Foot valves are commonly made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application and environmental conditions.

| Size range | 1 inch to 6 inches |
| Pressure rating | Up to 150 psi |

When selecting a foot valve, consider the material based on the fluid being handled and environmental conditions. Specify the size and connection type to ensure compatibility with existing plumbing systems. Additionally, check the pressure and temperature ratings to match the operational requirements. Certifications may be important for certain applications, so inquire about any relevant standards.
