PVDF Foot Valve
PVDF Foot Valve Manufacturer
The MVS PVDF Foot Valve is an essential component for pump suction lines in aggressive chemical environments, combining the dual functionality of a ball check valve and strainer in a single robust unit. Designed in a two-piece full-flow body construction, this thermoplastic foot valve ensures uninterrupted suction performance while preventing backflow and debris entry, protecting pumps from damage and extending their service life. Mayur (Valves) System Private Limited, an ISO 9001:2015-certified company, has been a trusted PVDF Foot Valve manufacturer and exporter since 1978. We export to 40+ countries worldwide, focusing on consistent quality, timely delivery, and a smooth customer experience. Our PVDF Foot Valves serve clients across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Russia, and other international markets, meeting diverse industrial requirements with dependable valve solutions and technical expertise.
Constructed using high-performance materials such as PVDF, Polypropylene (PP), PPH, and HDPE, the valve guarantees corrosion resistance even in the harshest media. This corrosion resistant thermoplastic foot valve is engineered with soft-seated, ball-type sealing and optional ceramic/PTFE check balls to enhance chemical compatibility and sealing reliability.
Widely used in chlor alkali plants, chemical process systems, and acid handling units, the PVDF foot valve for chemical industries is ideal for suction-side applications involving sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid (HCL), and nitric acid. With pressure ratings of PN 10–16 (ANSI 150) and temperature resistance from –20 °C to +120 °C, this valve supports global standards such as DIN, ANSI, and JIS.
Recognized as a trusted acid resistant plastic foot valve manufacturer, MVS offers tailored solutions for industrial clients worldwide. As a leading PPH foot valve supplier and chlor alkali foot valve exporter, we ensure long-lasting, maintenance-friendly valves that perform reliably in high-demand operations.

What is a PVDF foot valve and what is it for?
A foot valve is a check valve fitted at the bottom of a pump suction line, usually with an integral strainer. It holds the liquid column in the line when the pump stops, so the pump stays primed and does not have to be re-primed on every start, and it keeps solids out of the impeller. This one is a ball type, self-operated with low cracking pressure — important on suction duty, where a stiff check valve would starve the pump.
Which body, ball and seat materials are available?
Body in PP (polypropylene), isotactic PP, PPH, PVDF or HDPE. Ball in solid PVDF or PTFE. Seats and gaskets in Neoprene, Hypalon, EPDM or Viton for chemical compatibility. Being solid thermoplastic throughout, it survives permanent submersion in corrosive liquid — the duty that destroys a metal foot valve.
What size, pressure, temperature and connections apply?
1″ to 12″ (DN 25 – DN 300), rated PN 10–16 / ANSI 150 (approximately 10–16 bar), over a temperature range of −20 °C to +120 °C. Connections threaded (NPT/BSP) or flanged (ANSI/DIN). Suitable for corrosive and clean liquids.
Why does low cracking pressure matter on a foot valve?
Because the valve sits on the suction side, where the pump has only atmospheric pressure and the liquid head to work with. Every bar of cracking pressure is taken straight off the available NPSH, and if it is too high the pump cavitates, loses flow and eventually damages its impeller. A low cracking pressure ball design keeps that loss to a minimum while still holding prime when the pump stops.
Are you a manufacturer, and what are your minimum order quantity and customization options?
MVS manufactures at its own works — since 1978, ISO 9001:2015 certified — and exports across several continents. The minimum order quantity is 20 pieces. PVDF and HDPE bodies, solid PTFE balls, alternative seat elastomers and threaded or flanged connections are built to order.
