VORTEX BOTTOM FILL VALVE
Vortex Bottom Fill valves are float operated valves for use in automatic filling of water troughs. The valve is configured for underwater mounting only. The float is connected to the valve with a nylon cord, this operates a pilot valve, when the water level drops, the pilot valve is opened and the main diaphragm valve is activated. Vortex is a good choice where its high flow, compact, robust, non corrosive construction is beneficial.
Applications
Maintaining water levels in:
• Animal drinking troughs
• Water storage tanks
Features
• Compact robust construction
• Mounts horizontally or vertically
• Made from corrosion resistant materials
• Valve unscrews from tail for easy Valve seal access
• Shuts down slowly to minimise water hammer
• 20 – 60mm (3⁄4” – 2 1⁄2”) water level differential (increases as water inlet pressure increases)
• Pressure rating 0.3 – 7 Bar (5 – 100 PSI)
• Float position easily adjustable with no tools
