3/4-Inch No-Lead Bronze Foot Valve
This 3/4-inch no-lead bronze foot valve is designed for plumbing systems that require reliable back-flow prevention. It suits residential and light-commercial installations where lead-free components are mandated. The transparent finish allows visual confirmation of flow direction during maintenance checks. Installers working to current no-lead standards will find it compatible with standard IPS threading.
Upgrade From Leaded Brass Foot Valves
Replacing older leaded brass foot valves with this no-lead bronze model eliminates the lead content that current codes prohibit in potable water lines. The jump is worth it when a renovation or new build must meet no-lead legislation and the existing valve shows wear or scaling. It also applies when a system inspection flags non-compliant fittings that must be swapped before certification. No other performance change is implied by the material switch alone.
IPS Threading And Chemical Warning Constraints
The valve uses IPS threads, so it mates only with matching IPS pipe and fittings; NPT or other thread forms will not seal correctly. California Proposition 65 notices indicate the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers who need a valve without those specific chemical constituents must select an alternative. No pressure rating or temperature limit is provided in the supplied data.

Questions about this item
What pipe size does the 3/4 T-448 IPS foot valve connect to?
The valve uses a 3/4 inch IPS thread, so it fits standard 3/4 inch iron pipe size fittings and nipples.
How is the 105-474NL foot valve installed and what step is often missed?
Thread the valve onto the pipe using Teflon tape or pipe dope on the male threads; the step often missed is ensuring the arrow on the body points in the direction of flow.
What maintenance will the no-lead bronze foot valve need over time?
Inspect the internal poppet and seat annually for mineral build-up or wear; clean or replace the poppet assembly if the valve no longer holds prime.
