Ashland Water Group TFV-100NL Brass Foot Valve 1 Inch

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP TFV-100NL is a 1-inch brass foot valve designed to maintain prime in pump suction lines by preventing backflow when the pump is not running. The valve uses a spring-loaded poppet mechanism that seats firmly under all operating conditions, providing positive sealing up to 200 psi. Constructed to comply with lead-free laws, this valve is suitable for potable water systems where regulatory compliance is required. Plumbers and pump service technicians install this type of valve at the inlet of a suction pipe, submerged below the water source.

The TFV-100NL fits residential and light commercial water supply applications including well pump systems, irrigation pump suction lines, and water transfer setups. Its 1-inch connection size suits common suction pipe configurations found in shallow-well and jet pump installations. The lead-free brass construction meets the requirements of applicable state and federal lead-free plumbing laws, making it appropriate for systems conveying potable water.

Installation Notes

Foot valves are installed by licensed plumbers at the base of pump suction lines, fully submerged in the water source. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or replacing any suction-line components. Use thread sealant appropriate for potable water on all threaded connections, and verify that local codes and the IPC are followed for water supply installations. Do not install in orientations that restrict the poppet stroke or prevent full valve opening.
