A 3\/4 inch base with a .25 inch orifice, and the part to order when the float and the arm are still sound and only the valve needs changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it is built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a single piece rather than an assembly, so it keeps its shape when the nut is drawn up and does not warp against the tank wall. The cap carries a slotted vent that relieves pressure behind the valve and assists the anti-siphon function. Inside, the plunger is crowned so that it turns as water passes through it, which keeps sand and rust moving out of the seat instead of settling in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 915FVF valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrifice:\u003c\/strong\u003e .25 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCap:\u003c\/strong\u003e slotted vent, assists anti-siphon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger:\u003c\/strong\u003e crowned, rotates with the flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smidley #3 and #5 cattle fountains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the valve come with the float and arm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this is the valve only.
