VORTEX FLOAT VALVE SPECIFICATION

Vortex float valves are float operated valves for use in automatic filling of water tanks, troughs, cisterns etc. The valve is configured for above water mounting. The float operates a small pilot valve which in turn operates the main diaphragm valve. Vortex float valves are a good choice where maximum flow, compact, robust, non corrosive construction and variable float levels are required.

Description

• High flow• Compact robust construction• Mounts horizontally or vertically• Made from corrosion resistant materials • Valve unscrews from tail for easy Valve seal access • Shuts down slowly to minimise water hammer• 20 - 60mm (¾” - 2 ½”) water level differential (increases as water inlet pressure increases)• Pressure rating 0.3 - 7 Bar (5 - 100 PSI)• Float position easily adjustable with no tools• Valve has switch to lock it in off position • Has port to connect Frostpro anti freeze device

eg A Vortex Float Valve with 2” BSP thread has following spec numbers VXV50

Note: Product may differ slightly from these specs due to ongoing product development.
