15mm Floating Valve with 110mm Ball

15mm Floating Valve with 110mm Ball

Brand Chemical Supplies provides this heavy-duty 15mm Float Valve assembly, a reliable solution for automatic fluid level control in small to medium-sized reservoirs. Equipped with a high-buoyancy 110mm ball, this valve ensures a positive shut-off even in systems with fluctuating inlet pressures, making it ideal for agricultural, industrial, and domestic water storage applications.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Leverage Buoyancy: The 110mm ball provides significantly more upward force than standard smaller floats. This extra buoyancy ensures the valve closes tightly against the seat, preventing the “trickle” or “weeping” often associated with lower-quality float assemblies.

• Corrosion Resistance: The HDPE ball is chemically inert and UV-stabilized, meaning it will not rust, scale, or degrade when exposed to harsh sunlight or various water treatments.

• Adjustable Water Level: The threaded rod allows for fine-tuning of the float height. By adjusting the angle of the arm, you can precisely set the “full” line of your tank to prevent overflow or maximize storage capacity.

• Versatile Threading: Features a standard 15mm (1/2 inch) BSP male thread, making it compatible with most standard South African plumbing fittings, tank connectors, and flexible hoses.

• Low Maintenance: Designed with a simple, proven pivot mechanism that resists mineral buildup, ensuring years of trouble-free service in both potable and greywater systems.

Primary Applications

• Livestock Watering: Maintaining consistent water levels in cattle troughs and sheep drinkers.

• Rainwater Harvesting: Acting as a backup filling valve for header tanks connected to municipal supplies.

• Evaporative Coolers: Controlling the water reservoir levels in industrial “desert coolers” and swamp coolers.

• Aquaculture: Maintaining stable water volumes in filtration sumps and grow-out tanks.

• Header Tanks: Reliable level control for gravity-fed hot water or irrigation systems.

Installation Guidelines

1. Alignment: Ensure the valve is installed horizontally so the float can move freely through its full vertical arc without hitting the tank walls.

2. Sealing: Use PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the 15mm threads to ensure a leak-proof connection to the inlet pipe.

3. Testing: Once installed, manually lift the float to ensure the water flow stops completely before leaving the system unattended.
