Float valves of this type regulate a fluid level in vented open or
closed storage vessels or can be used for filling of water supply
storage tanks. Within the scope of their specification they can be
used for industrial or commercial installations or also for public
water supply systems. A soft seat seal pro-vides positive shutoff,
even with fluctuating supply pressure.

Method of Operation
Float valves work in conjunction with floats to control the level of
liquids in containers. The float is at the level of the liquid in the
container and acts directly on the lever arm of the float valve. A
variation in liquid level immediately causes a change in the flow
rate through the float valve.
