Float valve balanced type 2
Operation
A high resistance diaphragm balanced design with direct float The slight remaining pressure tending to open the valve
and lever action compensates 90 % of the effect of the pressure 10 %), prevents vibrations and damps down the effects of

relatively small float and mechanical parts. on the water surface. The device is simple, robust, and
requires no ajustement.

chain, two attaching clamps and two hook pieces.

Recommended flow rate / sizing Altitude setting option

Two cases to choose the diameter according to the flow rate: Only for DN 40 to 100, 25 mm step setting.
- When inlet pressure is low (≤ 1 bar) we recommend to size 1273
the float valve according to case 1. Head loss in the fully open
valve will be about 2 m WC.
- When inlet pressure is high, float valves be sized according to
case 2. Head loss will be about 5 m WC.
Setting of 334 to 934

There is a progressive variation in flow rate with respect to the

water-level, from the point where the device is fully open (H’) to
the valve being closed (H) (see Mounting figure).
