     Filed December 3, 2015 (File No. 001-37654)

Dear Ms. Ravitz:

On behalf of Fortive Corporation (the “Company”), I acknowledge that:

 

  •   the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

 

  •   staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

 

  •   the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

 

  Very truly yours,
  /s/ James A. Lico
  President and Chief Executive Officer
