Pegler Brass Float Valve, 1", Standard Duty, Reliable Shut-Off

Size: 1 inch BSP thread. Material: Brass with an anti-corrosive finish. Features: Adjustable arm for flexible installation, smooth float mechanism for consistent shutoff, high flow rate for efficient tank filling, and a long service life designed to resist wear and scaling. Suitable for domestic and commercial water tanks.

It is ideal for both domestic and commercial water tanks where reliable water level regulation is needed. It can be used in potable water systems where local codes permit, offering steady fill and shutoff performance.

Shut off the main water supply and drain the tank. Remove the existing valve if present, apply PTFE thread sealant to the male threads, and thread the new valve into place by hand before tightening with a wrench. Attach the adjustable float arm, ensure the valve sits level, and test by gradually filling the tank while watching the shutoff action. If leaks appear, re-check seals and tightening.

Loosen the arm connection, slide or reposition the adjustable arm to the desired height, then retighten. Refill the tank and observe the level to confirm the shutoff occurs at your target height. Fine-tune as needed for precise control.

A high flow rate indicates the valve can fill tanks quickly while still providing reliable shutoff. This helps reduce filling time, especially for larger domestic or light commercial tanks.

Periodically inspect for leaks around threads and fittings, ensure the float moves freely without obstruction, clean any sediment buildup from the valve body, and replace any worn seals or components if you notice drips or reduced performance.

The valve is designed for use with water tanks and can be used in potable water systems where local codes permit. Always verify compatibility with your specific water supply and comply with local regulations.

The 1 inch valve uses a larger BSP connection and is suited for higher flow needs and larger tanks. Smaller sizes (for example 1/2 inch or 1-1/4 inch) have different thread dimensions and flow characteristics, making them better for smaller tanks or lower fill rates. See the alternative options on Fepy for size differences and fitment specifics.

Avoid over-tightening the threads, using improper thread sealant, or installing the valve in a way that prevents the float from moving freely. Ensure the valve is oriented so the float arm operates without obstruction and test the system after installation for leaks and correct shutoff.
