Role in the Chemical Suction System
The foot valve helps maintain the intended one-way flow at the supply inlet, while the integrated strainer limits larger debris entering the suction line. Both functions support normal metering pump operation.
Choosing Stainless-Steel Ball Construction
The 316 stainless-steel check ball must be suitable for the actual process fluid. Consult the original pump material specifications rather than selecting a valve based on tubing size alone.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Reduced suction performance can be associated with a blocked strainer, deposits on the valve seat or problems elsewhere in the suction system. Inspect and clean components according to the manufacturer instructions.
