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.
  • Durable Metal Body: Brass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for continuous submersion in the water source.
  • Contractor Packaging: Supplied 10 each per package, convenient for well drillers, pump installers, and plumbing supply houses stocking multiple units and sizes.
  • Consistent Design Across Sizes: Both the 3/4" and 1" versions share the same no-lead brass body and check-valve function, simplifying inventory decisions for suction line installations of varying diameters.

Technical Specifications

  • Size Range: 3/4" and 1"
  • Country of Origin: Taiwan

Boshart 17YBFV075NL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Boshart 17YBFV foot valve come in?
Two: 3/4 inch (MPN 17YBFV075NL) and 1 inch (MPN 17YBFV100NL). Match the valve to your suction line diameter, not to the pump port, since the whole point is a full-bore check at the pipe inlet. Both sizes use the same no-lead brass body and the same check function, so the only decision is line size.
2) Can a Boshart 17YBFV brass foot valve be used on a potable water well line?
Yes. The 17YBFV is made from no-lead brass and is intended for well and water supply lines, including residential and commercial potable systems. It does carry a Prop 65 warning for lead, which is standard disclosure on brass plumbing goods sold into California.
3) Why does my jet pump keep losing prime, and will a foot valve fix it?
A jet pump loses prime when water drains back down the suction line into the well once the pump stops. The 17YBFV foot valve installs at the intake end of that suction line and holds the column of water in the pipe, so the pump restarts primed. If your pump primes fine but bleeds off over hours, a failed or missing foot valve at the bottom of the line is the usual cause.
4) Is a foot valve the same thing as an inline check valve on a well suction line?
Same check function, different location and duty. A foot valve like the 17YBFV goes at the submerged inlet of the suction line, inside the water source, so the entire pipe stays full. An inline check valve sits up in the dry portion of the line, usually near the pump, and only holds water above that point. If you need the pump to hold prime on a shallow well or lake draw, the foot valve at the inlet is the part that does it. The 17YBFV brass body is built for continuous submersion.
5) Will a brass foot valve hold up sitting in well water full time?
That is what the 17YBFV is built for. The no-lead brass body gives corrosion resistance for continuous submersion in the water source, which is where a foot valve lives for its whole service life. Plastic-bodied foot valves exist for the same duty, but the brass body is the heavier option for well and pump work.
6) I'm replacing an old foot valve on a shallow well, do I need to change the pipe size too?
No, order the 17YBFV in the size that matches your existing suction line: 3/4 inch or 1 inch. Foot valves are a like-for-like swap at the pipe inlet, so pull the drop pipe, match the size, and reinstall. Going smaller than the line restricts suction and hurts prime, so do not downsize to whatever is on the shelf.
7) How is the Boshart 17YBFV foot valve packaged for contractor or distributor stock?
Ten each per pack. That suits well drillers, pump installers, and supply houses stocking both the 3/4 inch and 1 inch sizes rather than buying singles. It is made in Taiwan.
