Marine Thread Foot Valve
Marine thread foot valve installed at the intake side (bottom) of a pump to keep the pump primed by allowing fluid to flow into the pump but preventing it from flowing backward. The term "marine thread" indicates that the valve has threads suitable for marine use.
Overview
Applications
。Bilge Pump Systems: Ensures the pump remains primed and ready to evacuate water from the bilge.
。Freshwater Systems: Maintains water flow from tanks to the pump.
。Engine Cooling Systems: Keeps cooling water flowing to the engine without losing prime.
Benefits
。Prevents Loss of Prime: By stopping backflow, it ensures that the pump remains ready to operate.
。Protects Pump: The strainer prevents debris from entering the pump, reducing wear and tear.
。Ease of Installation: Threaded design makes it easy to install in existing piping systems.
。Durability: Designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, ensuring long service life.
