Boshart 17YBCV No-Lead Brass Check Valve
The Boshart 17YBCV No-Lead Brass Check Valve is a rough-in plumbing component engineered to ensure fluid flows in one direction only within a potable or supply water line, preventing backflow that can damage fixtures, pumps, or upstream equipment. Built from no-lead brass, this check valve is intended for installation by plumbers and contractors as part of a supply or distribution line where dependable one-way flow control is required. The 17YBCV Check Valve is available in 1/2", 3/4", and 1" sizes, allowing contractors to select the correct fitting for the specific supply or distribution run they are working on. Every size in the family shares the same no-lead brass construction and internal check mechanism, and each is sold in a 10-pack for job-site and stock efficiency. The valve is manufactured in Taiwan to Boshart's brass component specifications.

Boshart 17YBCV050NL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Boshart 17YBCV brass check valve come in, and what are the part numbers?
The 17YBCV no-lead brass check valve is ordered by trade size, and each size has its own part number: 17YBCV050NL for 1/2 inch, 17YBCV075NL for 3/4 inch, 17YBCV100NL for 1 inch, and 17YBCV125NL for 1-1/4 inch. Order by the part number that matches the line you are piping, since the size is the only variable on the valve.
2) Is the Boshart 17YBCV check valve safe for potable water lines?
The 17YBCV is built from no-lead brass and is intended for potable and supply water service, keeping flow moving one direction only so backflow cannot reach fixtures, pumps, or upstream equipment. It does carry a California Prop 65 warning for lead, which is standard labeling on brass plumbing components.
3) Does the Boshart 17YBCV check valve have to be installed a certain direction?
Yes, direction matters. The valve passes fluid one way only, so it has to be installed with flow going toward the equipment you are protecting and the check element blocking the return path. Installed backward it will stop flow entirely. Sort this out before the wall closes, since it is a rough-in part.
4) Is this brass check valve meant to be installed in the wall or somewhere I can get to it later?
It is a rough-in component, meant to go behind the wall or under the floor as part of a supply or distribution run, not as an exposed or trimmed-out fixture part. If you need a valve you can service or inspect without opening finished work, set it in an accessible chase or before the wall closes.
5) How many check valves come in a pack of the Boshart 17YBCV?
Each package is 10 pieces, and that applies to every size in the 17YBCV family. For a plumbing contractor stocking a truck or a service van, that means you buy backflow protection for a size in tens rather than one at a time, so plan quantities in multiples of 10.
6) Can I use a 17YBCV check valve to protect a well pump or booster pump from backflow?
Pump and water system protection is one of the intended uses. The internal check mechanism only lets fluid pass one way, so water in the downstream piping cannot run back through the pump or into the upstream line. Match the valve size to the pump discharge piping, 1/2 through 1-1/4 inch.
7) Will a brass check valve like this stop up in hard water or corrode on a copper supply line?
The body is no-lead brass, chosen for corrosion resistance in water-line service, which is why it suits both residential and commercial rough-in on supply and distribution piping. It is a mechanical check, so it relies on a moving internal element, which is the reason it is specified for clean potable and supply water rather than debris-laden lines.
8) Where is the Boshart 17YBCV check valve made?
Taiwan, built to Boshart's brass component specifications. That matters to procurement buyers who track country of origin on submittals and purchasing records for plumbing fittings.
