Boshart 28-BFV-10NL Brass Float Valve 1 Inch No Lead

Product Description

The BOSHART 28-BFV-10NL is a no-lead brass float valve with a 1-inch threaded outlet, designed for automatic water-level control in tanks, reservoirs, and similar plumbing applications. It features a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet and a 1-inch MPT outlet, with a 1/4-inch-20 float arm connection. Constructed from no-lead brass, this valve meets contemporary potable-water compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians install this type of valve where a mechanical float mechanism is needed to shut off flow at a preset water level without electronic controls.

This float valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations including holding tanks, livestock waterers, storage tanks, and cisterns. The threaded inlet and outlet connections allow direct integration into existing threaded pipe runs. Where no-lead material compliance is required under state or local plumbing codes, this valve satisfies those requirements without additional hardware modifications.

Key Features

• No-lead brass construction for potable-water compliance
• 1-inch MPT inlet and 1-inch MPT outlet for standard threaded pipe connections
• 1/4-inch-20 float arm attachment point for mechanical level control
• Threaded outlet design allows straightforward inline or tank-side installation
• Mechanical float operation requires no electrical power or controls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation float valve for 1-inch threaded pipe systems requiring no-lead brass components in tank and reservoir level-control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local and IPC plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing the valve. Use thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for potable water on all MPT connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
