The valve has a 0.093\" orifice and its\nestimated rate of flow is 1.3 gallons per minute (gpm) at 40 pounds per square\ninch (psi) and 1.5 gpm at 60 psi. The valve inlet has 1\/4\" NPT male extended\nthreads with a sealing washer and jam nut for mounting through a tank wall,\nand the valve outlet is free flowing. The valve inlet includes a compression\nfitting for use with 1\/4\" tubing. The valve is made of National Sanitation\nFoundation (NSF) approved PVC (polyvinyl chloride), its replaceable seals are\nmade of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for durability and chemical resistance,\nand its hardware is made of 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The\nvalve has a 1.5\" in diameter and 4\" long polyethylene float attached to the\nshutoff lever arm. This float valve is suitable for use in a variety of\napplications, such as fountains and livestock water tanks.Float valves use a\nrod and float ball attached to a valve shutoff lever to control flow in or out\nof a tank. The float ball rises or falls with the level of liquid in the tank,\nchanging the angle of the valve shutoff lever. When the angle of the valve\nlever changes sufficiently, the valve opens or closes. Float valves are rated\naccording to the volume of liquid that can flow through them at a particular\npressure to ensure the tank can be refilled as quickly as it is emptied. The\nmaterial that a float valve is constructed from must be suitable for the\nliquid in which it operates, which may be corrosive or at an extreme\ntemperature. Float valves are used to automatically regulate the level of\nliquid within tanks in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock\nwater tanks, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing plants.Kerick Valve\nmanufactures fluid level control valves for industrial applications. The\ncompany, founded in 1994, is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL.What's in the\nBox?M252 valvePF154 float ball\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eEstimated rate of flow up to 1.5 gpm at 60 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePVC for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTank mount with extended threads on inlet side of valve for mounting through tank wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIncludes 1.5x4\" float ball attached to fixed valve shutoff arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e1\/4\" tube fitting inlet and free-flow outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Kerick Valve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41532261695668,"sku":"B0077RAUTA","price":113.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B0077RAUTA.jpg?v=1653636715","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/kerick-valve-m252-pvc-mini-float-valve-tank-mount-fixed-arm-1-5-gpm-at-60-psi-1-4-tube-0-25-inch","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
