Application
The #10 Balanced Tank Float Valve is for use inside the tank only. It has earned and enjoys the enviable reputation of being the accepted float valve: for general tank service in the building industry; for use by primary manufacturers as an essential part of their equipment; and for all other industrial uses where valve and float are located inside the tank. It is the standard valve for controlling liquid levels where pressures do not exceed 75 psi on valve sizes 1/2" to 4" inclusive.
Construction The #10 is manufactured in sizes 1/2" to 4" inclusive, in angle body only. The 1/2" to 3" sizes are all bronze screwed ends. The 4" is screwed or flanged pattern, all bronze. All valves are sold complete with floats and rods. Adjustable float position is obtainable with a two-piece lever. An approximate 45 degrees angle on the float rod makes the best operational position. The 1/2", 3/4" and 1" sizes are one and the same pattern, with the inlet tapped to correct pipe size. The outlet on all three sizes is one inch. On all sizes, the travel of the piston is at least one third of the pipe size, and the seat of the valve is full pipe size, assuring full flow capacity. On sizes 1/2" to 4" inclusive, the bonnet is screwed into the valve body. |
Operation
This is a direct acting, float actuated valve, without auxiliary pilot or other supersensitive parts. Only two wearing parts; a cup washer and a disc seat assures inexpensive service. Positive Shut-Off is a reality with this single seated balanced design. |
