Roberts Manufacturing RF610-1-1/2-5P Brass Float Valve 1.5 in Fipt

Product Description

The ROBERTS MANUFACTURING RF610-1-1/2-5P is a brass float valve assembly with a poly float, designed to automatically control water levels in tanks, cisterns, cooling towers, and similar fluid-management systems. The assembly features a 1.5-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) inlet connection, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe installations. Built from brass, this valve offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. It is a direct-acting mechanical float valve, meaning the rising or falling poly float opens and closes the valve without external power or controls. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this type of valve.

This float valve assembly is suited for residential and light commercial applications where automatic water level control is required. Typical installations include storage tanks, livestock waterers, cooling tower makeup water lines, and process tanks. The 1.5-inch FIPT connection accommodates higher flow demands compared to smaller float valves, making it appropriate for larger-volume tanks or faster fill rates. The poly float resists corrosion and is lightweight, reducing stress on the valve arm during operation.

Key Features

• Brass valve body for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet environments
• 1.5-inch FIPT inlet connection fits standard threaded pipe
• Poly float resists corrosion and reduces arm stress
• Mechanical float-actuated operation requires no external power
• Automatic water level control for tanks and reservoirs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install float valve assembly for standard 1.5-inch FIPT threaded tank and cistern inlet applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing valve or fittings. Use thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for potable or process water on all threaded connections. Verify the float arm adjustment provides the correct shutoff water level before returning the system to service.
