Equilibrium Float Valves

Mark 1 and 2
Equilibrium Float Valves
for Water Services
Benefits
Available in full or reduced bore
configurations to suit pressures up
to 10 bar (150psi) whilst still
maintaining a fast, quiet and
smooth shut off action.

The range of EBCO high flow rate Float Valves are simple and
robust and can reliably self-compensate for changes in water
supply pressures. One size of seat and one size of ball float will
suit any working pressure up to the maximum recommendation
of 10bar (150psi) for the reduced bore float valve or 5bar
(72psi) for the full bore float valve. Even at these pressures the
full bore or reduced bore seat combined with the hydraulically
balanced closing action gives fast, quiet and smooth shut-off.
Valves are available in 1/2” to 6” sizes with BSP male threaded
or flanged inlets.

Available with flanged or male BSP
threaded connections to suit most
connection situations.
The body of the valve is made from
corrosion immune Gunmetal giving
years of trouble free service.
Design and selection of materials
gives high strength for installation
and operation, and corrosion
resistance for long life.
One size of seat and one size of
ball float suits any working
pressure up to the maximum
recommended of 5 bar (72psi) for
the full bore valve or 10 bar
(150psi) for the reduced bore valve.
