The valve has a 0.093" orifice and its estimated rate of flow is 1.3 gallons per minute (gpm) at 40 pounds per square inch (psi) and 1.5 gpm at 60 psi. The valve inlet has 1/2" NPT male extended threads with a sealing washer and jam nut for mounting through a tank wall, and the valve outlet is free flowing. The valve is made of National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) approved PVC (polyvinyl chloride), its replaceable seals are made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for durability and chemical resistance, and its hardware is made of 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The valve has a 1.5" in diameter and 4" long polyethylene float attached to the adjustable shutoff lever arm. This float valve is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as fountains and livestock water tanks. Float valves use a rod and float ball attached to a valve shutoff lever to control flow in or out of a tank. The float ball rises or falls with the level of liquid in the tank, changing the angle of the valve shutoff lever. When the angle of the valve lever changes sufficiently, the valve opens or closes. Float valves are rated according to the volume of liquid that can flow through them at a particular pressure to ensure the tank can be refilled as quickly as it is emptied. The material that a float valve is constructed from must be suitable for the liquid in which it operates, which may be corrosive or at an extreme temperature. Float valves are used to automatically regulate the level of liquid within tanks in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock water tanks, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing plants. Kerick Valve manufactures fluid level control valves for industrial applications. The company, founded in 1994, is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. What's in the Box?

I had to use a couple of sturdy plastic plates to solidify the installation because the weight of the hose would buckle the area where it's mounted. But once that was done, it works just fine.October 28th, 2015 addendum:I think that something like this would also work great for adding water to an aquarium or fish tank. If the water coming out of your tap is chlorinated, letting it sit for a while will help dissipate the chlorine. This could also work as an emergency self filling water tank. Here in Hawaii, we are constantly warned about the possibility of a hurricane. A 33 gallon CLEAN garbage can filled with water would certainly help in an emergency. Just leave the cover on to keep dust and debris from getting into it. Actually, if you think hard enough, there are a lot of possibilities with this. ### ⭐⭐ Why won't you just work??? *by B***E on August 11, 2017* This is a great idea. However it doesn't appear that there is enough buoyancy in the float to fully shut off the valve. Because of this, the valve is overfilling my 900 gal pond. If I hold the float up with a little pressure, the valve closes. I've tried a number of different angles as the float is adjustable, but nothing seems to work.So my next trick is to attach some styrofoam to add buoyancy. We'll see if it improves. ### ⭐⭐⭐ May have trouble shutting off completely when water pressure is high. *by M***E on March 3, 2018* I had a similar float valve in my fountain for several years, but recently it started failing to shut off completely, causing the fountain to overflow. I ordered this one and installed it. Same problem: it would not completely shut off the water. I went to the irrigation store and bought two more of the same float valve. They both had the same problem. On a hunch I measured the pressure of the water supply: 65 psi! Guessing that was too much for such a primitive valve I put a pressure regulator in the supply to the fountain ($40 from Amazon -- Watts series LF25AUB -- very nice) and reduced the pressure on the float valve to 20 psi. Now it shuts off fine. There are more expensive float valves that would probably work, but they are too big to fit in my fountain's water catchment tub.Pros -- small and simple. Cons -- works best with low pressure water feed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/154669230-kerick-valve-ma052-pvc-mini-float-valve-tank-mount-adjustable](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/154669230-kerick-valve-ma052-pvc-mini-float-valve-tank-mount-adjustable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
