Float Valves

Float Valves for Water Tank Control

Float valves are an essential component in water systems where automatic level control is required. They regulate the flow of water into tanks, reservoirs and other storage units by using a float mechanism that rises and falls with the liquid level. When the water reaches a set point, the float closes the valve to stop incoming flow, preventing overfilling. When the level drops, the float opens the valve again, allowing the system to refill. This simple, mechanical design provides dependable service without the need for external power or complex controls.

Construction and Materials

Float valves are commonly manufactured in bronze and brass, both of which offer durability and corrosion resistance in water applications. Bronze float valves are often preferred in industrial and municipal systems due to their long service life and ability to withstand demanding conditions. Brass float valves are widely used for water tanks, agricultural use and light industrial service where reliable shut-off performance is required.

Many designs are threaded for easy installation, while others are available in flanged connections for larger pipelines and tank systems. The float mechanism itself may be made of copper, stainless steel or other materials depending on the application.

Applications of Float Valves

Float valves are used in a wide range of industries and facilities across the United States:

• Water tanks – Automatic filling and level control for domestic, agricultural and industrial tanks.

• Municipal systems – Maintaining levels in reservoirs, treatment plants and pumping stations.

• Cooling systems – Controlling makeup water in cooling towers and process tanks.

• Irrigation and farming – Managing water supply for livestock tanks and storage basins.
  

The ability to regulate flow automatically makes float valves a dependable option for projects that need consistent liquid level management.
