Ashland Water Group TFV-150NL Brass Foot Valve 1.5 in

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP TFV-150NL is a 1.5-inch brass foot valve rated at 200 psi, designed to maintain prime in water supply lines by preventing backflow when a pump cycles off. The valve uses a spring-loaded poppet mechanism to deliver positive sealing at all times, eliminating the loss of prime that leads to pump damage or dry runs. Compliant with lead-free laws, this valve is suitable for potable water installations where material standards are enforced. Plumbers and pump service technicians install this type of valve at the intake end of a suction line, typically submerged at the bottom of a well, cistern, or sump.

The TFV-150NL is used in residential and light commercial water supply systems where a centrifugal or jet pump draws water from a static source. Typical installations include shallow well systems, irrigation pump inlets, and pressurized tank setups. The 1.5-inch connection size suits common suction line configurations found in residential pump installations. The lead-free brass construction meets compliance requirements for potable water contact applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off and lock out the pump before servicing any component in the suction line. The foot valve must be installed at the lowest point of the suction pipe, fully submerged, with the inlet screen oriented downward to allow free water flow. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for potable water supply systems.
