The Watts XFTEK is an XtraFlo armless diaphragm float valve for high-demand livestock troughs. The compact armless body mounts bottom, side or top entry to keep it clear of stock, and closes on a diaphragm so it will not hammer. It features a glass-reinforced nylon body and a buna-n seat. Rated to 60 psi.
This top entry xtraflo valve kit will transform any armless xtraflo float valve into a backflow preventing valve. The kit comes with a float and is fully adjustable to suit all applications.

Common Questions
- Does this include the float ball and rod?
- Yes. This valve has an integral float and installs complete; there is no separate float ball or 3/8"-16 rod to buy, unlike the Watts bronze lever-arm float valves.
- 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?
- Bottom mount, side mount or top entry. The armless design has no float rod sticking into the trough, so there is far less for livestock to damage.
- What is the flow capacity?
- 80+ GPM @ 60 psi. Size the valve to how fast the tank or trough has to refill, not just to the pipe it lands on.
