This 1-1/2″ vertical float valve industrial design is engineered for applications where standard float valves fall short. The vertical design handles turbulent and volatile tank conditions that would cause horizontal valves to chatter or fail, while the compact footprint fits tanks where space is limited.
Ideal Applications:
- Industrial process and holding tanks
- High-volume water storage tanks
- Agricultural and livestock watering systems
- Car wash water supply tanks
- Irrigation holding tanks
- Municipal water storage
Key Features:
- Smooth positive shutoff eliminates chatter in turbulent conditions
- Only requires 3/4″ water level change before activation
- Wide operating range: 5–110 PSI
- High flow capacity: up to 253 GPM at 110 PSI
- Compact vertical design for tight tank installations
- 1-1/2″ FPT inlet and outlet
