Foot Valves for Water Pump Suction Lines

How it applies to the water system

Select the intake size and strainer for the pump duty and source debris. Allow appropriate submergence and avoid a location where settled material will quickly block the intake.

Selection and operating considerations

Leakage, damaged seats or blocked strainers can cause priming problems. Inspect the whole suction arrangement before assuming that pump replacement is the answer.

Planning the requirement in Sabah

For a Kota Kinabalu building, plant room or water-transfer installation elsewhere in Sabah, send the valve nameplate and photographs of its pipework. Include the intended function, operating records and the connection standard so a replacement or new component can be reviewed properly.

Information to prepare

• Valve function, model and connection standard
• Normal and extreme operating flow/pressure
• Control supply, installation orientation and service access

What should I send SWFI for this requirement in Sabah?

Send the site location, source-water information, operating flow and pressure, and the equipment model or photographs where available. SWFI is based in Kota Kinabalu and can review the requested supply or service scope against the site duty.
