Foot valve with non-return LF L3090033

A foot valve with non-return controls the flow of water into commercial dishwashers, glasswashers and pan-washing machines. It sits at the base of the inlet hose, where the hose connects to the water supply. When the machine calls for water, the valve opens under pressure, allowing clean water to enter. As soon as the pressure drops, the non-return mechanism closes, stopping any backflow that could contaminate the supply line. This protects the mains from detergent, food debris and bacteria, and keeps the wash cycle consistent by preventing air from entering the system.

The operator does not handle the valve directly. The hose is screwed onto the valve, which is then threaded into the water inlet of the machine. Once connected, the valve remains in place until the hose is removed for maintenance. The filter inside the valve catches particles that could clog nozzles or pumps, extending the life of the machine and reducing call-outs for blockages.

This LF foot valve is built with a stainless steel ring for corrosion resistance and a filter to trap sediment. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original part on the listed models, ensuring a secure fit without modification.

The valve fits a wide range of ADLER, COMENDA, LAINOX and LAMBER appliances, including under-counter dishwashers, hood-type dishwashers, glasswashers, cupwashers, pan washers and some conveyor models. The exact compatibility is determined by the article number of the machine; the list in the catalogue confirms which models accept this part.

Cleaning is limited to the filter. When the machine is serviced, the hose is disconnected and the filter is rinsed under running water to remove trapped debris. The stainless steel ring requires no upkeep beyond occasional inspection for signs of wear or corrosion.
