Durable Brass Double-Poppet Foot Valve for Fuel Suction Systems

In fuel transfer systems, a reliable check at the suction inlet is crucial. The HBD Series Foot Valve, crafted from premium brass, is engineered to maintain fluid integrity and prevent backflow in gasoline, diesel, and kerosene lines. Featuring a robust double-poppet design with metal-to-metal sealing, this valve offers superior protection and long-lasting performance in industrial and commercial fuel applications.

Each HBD Foot Valve comes with a protective bottom screen, effectively keeping debris and impurities out of the system, and undergoes 100% pressure testing to ensure consistent quality. With rapid valve closure in just 0.5 seconds, it safeguards pumps against damage from sudden flow reversals. Designed for suction lines with pressures up to 34 ft of head (about 15 psi), it ensures smooth and reliable operation under standard conditions.

Sizes are available from 1 inch to 4 inches (BSP or NPT thread options), accommodating a wide range of tank and pump configurations. The valve discs and body are made of solid brass, while seals can be Buna-N or Viton, offering chemical resistance and durability. Operating temperatures range from -30°C to +55°C, making it adaptable to most environmental conditions.

Globally, this type of valve is recognized by different names depending on the region: in North America, it is often called a Fuel Suction Foot Valve or Pump Check Valve; in Europe, engineers refer to it as Bodenrückschlagventil in Germany or Clapet de pied in France; in Japan, it is known as フットバルブ; in China and Taiwan, it is called 燃油吸入脚阀. These international references highlight the widespread industrial use and trusted reputation of the HBD Series.

The HBD Series Foot Valve is ideal for fuel storage tanks, suction pipelines, and pump systems in gas stations, industrial facilities, and mobile fuel delivery units. Its durable double-poppet mechanism, fast closing speed, and high-quality brass construction provide peace of mind for operators seeking dependable backflow prevention.
