Pumping Station Float Valve Seal Replacement Kit #105884

Positioning the Float Valve for Operation
For optimum closing force and best operation of the Float Valve it is suggested that the Float Arm Assembly be set to a
45° or slightly greater angle. The Float Valve will not operate properly with the arm at a 90° angle.

When properly set, the Float valve should look as shown below

If the Down-Tube extends below the surface of the liquid, the Float Valve may become air bound and not close
properly. A small drilled hole (approximately 1/8”) has been drilled in the lower neck of the valve body, above the
thread to allow air to escape.
