This mechanical float valve automatically controls the water level in a storage or buffer tank. When the level drops, the float drops with it and the valve opens. When the tank is full, the float closes the valve. The tank stays filled at all times, without overflowing and without any electrical control.
The float valve is intended for refilling a storage tank for a booster set or pressure boosting pump, a buffer tank for a pressure washer, or a rainwater tank topped up from the mains. It has a G 3/4" male thread. You mount it through the tank wall with a nut and sealing washer, or onto a 3/4" connection inside the tank.
The valve is suitable for a supply pressure of up to max. 10 bar (9 bar nominal) and delivers 23 l/min nominal, with a maximum of 30 l/min. The maximum water temperature is 60 °C. Its lightweight plastic construction is corrosion-resistant and suitable for permanent immersion. The float valve is supplied without a filter and without a supply pipe.
Tip: with dirty water or a new connection, fit a filter upstream of the float valve. Dirt and sand can damage the seal, so the valve no longer closes properly.
