3/4" FNPT Low Lead Brass Foot Valve

The Campbell FV-3TLF is a spring-loaded foot valve built for pump suction lines in residential and light-commercial plumbing. Its low-lead brass body and stainless-steel strainer suit potable-water systems where lead-free materials are required. The inline design fits horizontal or vertical mounting orientations.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The valve operates passively with no electrical consumption and produces no audible noise during normal flow. Brass construction handles water temperatures from 35 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit and sustains pressures up to 200 psi. A cracking pressure of .5 psi keeps the spring seated until flow begins.

Replaces worn foot valves on existing pump lines

This unit directly substitutes a failed or corroded foot valve of the same 3/4" FNPT size and pressure rating. The upgrade is worthwhile when the old strainer clogs repeatedly, the spring no longer seals at low pressure, or lead-free compliance becomes mandatory. It does not suit steam service or applications exceeding the stated temperature and pressure limits.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Campbell FV-3TLF foot valve, and which orientation step is often missed?

Connect the 3/4" FNPT threads inline using pipe sealant; the valve accepts both horizontal and vertical mounting, but installers often forget to verify the spring-loaded poppet moves freely after threading.

What maintenance or replacement will the strainer and spring need over time?

The stainless-steel strainer and internal spring should be inspected annually for mineral build-up or fatigue; clean the screen and confirm the .5 psi cracking pressure still reseats positively.

What is the first limit reached during continuous hot-water circulation?

The 158 °F maximum temperature rating is reached before the 200 psi water-pressure limit in typical sustained hot-water loops.
