What is ball float valves？
Ball float valves are the most common type of float valve. They consist of a hollow ball made of plastic or metal that floats on top of the liquid in the tank. The ball is attached to a lever arm that is connected to a valve. When the liquid level drops, the ball falls, causing the lever arm to move and open the valve. When the liquid level rises, the ball rises, causing the lever arm to move and close the valve. Ball float valves are commonly used in toilet tanks, industrial tanks, and agricultural water systems.

Expand knowledge: other types of float valves
Pilot float valve
Pilot-operated float valves are similar to ball float valves, but they use a smaller float to control the pilot valve. The pilot valve then controls the main valve that regulates the flow of liquid. Pilot operated float valves are typically used in high pressure applications where the force of the liquid is too great for the float valve.
Diaphragm float valve
Diaphragm float valves use a flexible diaphragm attached to a lever arm and valve. As the liquid level rises, the diaphragm expands, causing the lever arm to move and close the valve. As the fluid level drops, the diaphragm contracts, causing the lever arm to move and open the valve. Diaphragm float valves are typically used in low pressure applications such as irrigation systems or small tanks.
To sum up, there are three main types of float valves: ball float valve, pilot float valve and diaphragm float valve. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which type to use depends on the specific application and system requirements.
