Pegler Brass Float Valve, 1/2", Compact Design, Stable Level Control

The Pegler Float Valve is a heavy‑duty water control valve designed to regulate maximum water flow in domestic plumbing applications. It uses a brass body welded to a steel base, a stainless steel float rod, and a hand wheel for smooth, adjustable control. It also includes a non-return valve to prevent backflow and ensure reliable on/off operation.

Key specs include a heavy‑duty brass body with a welded steel base, a stainless steel float rod, manual on/off operation, adjustable flow via a hand wheel, and a maximum flow rate of 5.5 litres per minute. It is designed for hot and cold potable water systems and features a non-return valve to prevent backflow.

It's well suited for wash basins, toilets, tanks, and showers. It works with both hot and cold water systems and helps maintain a controlled, reliable flow while preventing backflow in domestic plumbing setups.

Installation generally involves turning off the water supply, draining the line, and mounting the valve in the supply path. Connect the valve to the inlet using appropriate fittings, ensure the float arm has room to move freely, and follow the included instructions. The unit is designed for straightforward installation and maintenance.

Use the hand wheel to adjust the float arm until you reach the desired flow rate. Start with a low setting and gradually increase while testing for the correct fill level, up to the maximum specified flow of 5.5 L/min. The float arm is designed for quick and smooth adjustments.

Periodically inspect for leaks and ensure the float arm moves freely. Clean any mineral buildup and replace worn seals as needed. The brass body and stainless steel float rod are built for durability in potable water systems, making routine maintenance minimal.

The valve is designed for potable water use with a corrosion‑resistant brass body and stainless steel components. Ensure installation complies with local plumbing codes and that the valve is used within its specified hot/cold water capabilities and pressure ratings.

Pegler’s unit emphasizes a heavy‑duty brass body welded to a steel base, plus a stainless steel float rod and an adjustable hand wheel for precise control, along with a non‑return feature. For alternatives on Fepy, you can compare with these options:

Choose this valve when you need a reliable, adjustable flow with backflow prevention in domestic water systems — for example, to regulate fill in basins or tanks, or to control toilet and shower supply lines where a stable flow is important.

Ensure you have compatible pipe sizes and fittings, position the valve for easy access to the hand wheel, and verify there are no obstructions to the float arm’s movement. Adhere to the included instructions and verify the system is within the valve’s cold/hot water and pressure ranges before first use.

It combines a durable brass body welded to a steel base, a stainless steel float rod, and an adjustable flow mechanism with a non-return valve, all designed for long life in potable water systems. The straightforward installation and maintenance further add to its value for typical domestic plumbing needs.
