3/4 in MNPT Float Valve
The Bobby R1361-3/4 float valve is a stainless-steel component designed for horizontal piping installations. It features a 3/4 inch MNPT connection and a PTFE seal for reliable sealing performance. The valve body and valve material are both constructed from stainless steel for durability. This part is intended for use in bath faucet applications where a new float valve is required.
Suits high-temperature systems up to 550 Degrees F
This valve suits installations requiring a maximum pressure rating of 85 psi and operating temperatures up to 550 Degrees F. It delivers 38 gpm at 35 psi and 58 gpm at 85 psi, making it appropriate for high-flow demand. Buyers needing a vertical mounting orientation or a specific rod length should look elsewhere as this model specifies horizontal piping only and rod length is not applicable. The product also carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects.
NSF compliance certifies potable water use
The single specification that decides suitability is the NSF compliance listed in the manufacturer highlights. This certification confirms the valve meets standards for contact with drinking water. Without this compliance the part would not be appropriate for potable water systems regardless of its pressure or temperature ratings. The stainless steel construction supports this use case but the NSF mark is the deciding factor.

Questions about this item
What does the 3/4 in MNPT connection mean for flow at 35 psi and 85 psi?
The 3/4 in MNPT inlet delivers 38 gpm at 35 psi and 58 gpm at 85 psi, which is the maximum rated pressure.
What mounting orientation and rod thread does this valve require?
It mounts on horizontal piping and uses a 1/4 in -20 rod thread for the float arm.
How is the PTFE seal installed and what mistake should be avoided?
The PTFE seal sits inside the stainless steel body; do not apply pipe thread compound on the seal face as it can prevent proper seating.
