The float level control valves are hydraulic control valves that are used to control the water level of water storing structures like cisterns, reservoirs, pressure reducing watering troughs, etc. that are being in the conduction lines. The main valve does the opening-closing up function with the solenoid valve which used on it. The solenoid valve takes the opening-closing up command from the electrical float placed in the reservoir.

Because of the float level control valve’s structure is very simple, the usage of it is very advantageous to user.
The valve’s float assembly is modular. It is mounted at desired manner easily to the structure which level control will be done.
The level control distance can be adjusted in desired sizes with the electrical float.
A simple control device is located between the main valve and the electrical float.
The opening-closing up function can be controlled manually with the ball valve placed on the main valve.
The valve works with the line pressure entirely hydraulic without needing any extra energy.
Mount the valve according to the arrow placed on the valve that shows the flow direction.
Mounting isolation valves (gate, butterfly or ball etc.) at the entrance direction for shutting-off the water in the line are recommended to ease the maintenance of the valve.
For the valve’s efficient working it is recommended to use an air relief valve before the valve.
Mount the electrical float of the electrical float level control valve steadily to the reservoir.
Connect the electrical float and the solenoid valve placed on the main valve to the control device appropriately according to the voltage values.
The valve will work at the automatic position if it is connected to the control device properly.
The control valves do the opening-closing up function with the system pressure. The valve won’t work if the system pressure value is near “zero” while reservoir filling. Check the valve’s entrance pressure value.
Use the relief ball valve as shown with 3 to operate the valve manually. The ball valve must be at closed up position if the valve will work at automatic position.
Evacuate the water in the valve’s actuator to the atmosphere to prevent freezing in winter.
