Boshart 17YBFV No-Lead Brass Foot Valve, Well Suction Line Check Valve

Boshart 17YBFV No-Lead Brass Foot Valve, Well Suction Line Check Valve

The Boshart 17YBFV No-Lead Brass Foot Valve is a rough-in plumbing component designed to be installed at the intake end of a suction line to prevent water from flowing back into the water source when the pump shuts off. Constructed from no-lead brass, this foot valve is built for use on well and water supply lines where a reliable check function is required at the pipe inlet. The 17YBFV family is available in 3/4" and 1" sizes, allowing installers and supply houses to stock the correct valve for a range of suction line diameters while relying on the same no-lead brass construction and backflow-prevention function across both sizes. It is manufactured in Taiwan and packaged 10 pieces per carton for distributor and contractor stock.

Key Features

• Available Sizes: Offered in 3/4" and 1" sizes to match common well suction line diameters.
• No-Lead Brass Construction: Manufactured from no-lead brass for use on potable water supply lines, consistent across both size options.
• Backflow Prevention: Functions as a foot valve at the suction line inlet, preventing water from draining back into the source and helping the pump maintain prime.
