Float Valve Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel Float Valve for Automatic Water Level Control

This stainless steel float valve automatically regulates water inflow as the liquid level rises and falls. Its mechanical float-operated design helps maintain the water level in a tank without manual switching or an external electrical supply for the valve mechanism. The supplier lists a G1/2 connection and horizontal valve configuration.

How does it work?

As the water level rises, the buoyant float activates the valve’s closing mechanism to stop incoming water. When the level drops, the valve opens again to refill the tank. This automatic cycle helps reduce the need for manual monitoring and helps prevent overfilling when correctly installed and maintained.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction: Offers durability and corrosion resistance for compatible water-handling applications.
• Automatic level regulation: Responds mechanically to changing water levels.
• Compact cylindrical body: A compact alternative for installations where space around the water inlet is limited.
• Threaded connection: The supplier specifies G1/2; check the mating fitting before installation.
• Routine maintenance: Periodically inspect the valve and keep the float mechanism and water passages free from debris.

Specifications

Typical Applications

The supplier lists water tanks, cisterns, irrigation systems, animal watering systems and aquariums as applications. It also mentions industrial tanks and boilers; suitability for these systems must be checked against the actual pressure, temperature and liquid compatibility requirements before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this float valve need electricity?

No external electrical supply is required for the mechanical float-operated valve mechanism. Any pump or other equipment in the system may have its own power requirements.

What connection size is listed?

The supplier specifies G1/2. The separate 1/2-inch to 2-inch size range describes the supplier’s range, so confirm the supplied valve size and matching fitting before ordering.

Can it help prevent a water tank from overflowing?

Yes. The float mechanism closes the inlet as the water reaches its operating level. Correct installation, suitable operating conditions and regular checks are essential for reliable shut-off.

Is it suitable for hot water, boilers or high-pressure systems?

A working-pressure limit and temperature rating have not been provided. Confirm these ratings before selecting this valve for hot-water, boiler or pressurised applications.

Is sealing tape included?

One product image shows sealing tape beside the valve. Package contents have not been confirmed, so check inclusion before ordering.
