Common Questions

Does this include the float ball and rod?

No. Watts bronze float valves ship without the float and rod; order an FLT-C (copper) or FLT-P (polyethylene) float and a 3/8"-16 rod separately.

Can I use it on drinking water?

No. This valve is not certified lead-free and is for non-potable service only — cooling tower and refrigeration make-up, irrigation, livestock watering and tank fill. Do not install it on a potable water supply.

How does it mount?

In-line on the supply pipe using its NPT threaded connections. It has no machined flange, so it is not a through-the-tank-wall valve like the heavy-duty 500-2000 series.

What size float and rod does it take?

The rod thread is 3/8"-16 on the whole bronze float valve line. Float diameter depends on the valve size and the shut-off level you need — check the Watts float valve catalog for the matching FLT-C or FLT-P float.
