Product Overview
Keraflo Aylesbury ‘KP’ Type float valve kits comprise of an in-line control valve together with an Aylesbury ‘KB’ type float valve acting as a pilot. The Aylesbury ‘KP’ is a fully variable delayed action type valve, WRAS approved, suitable for use in cold water tanks with or without raised valve chambers and is ideal for mains or pumped systems
Keraflo ‘KP’ type float valve does not immediately open when water is taken from the tank and the water level falls. Instead, there is a delay and the valve does not open until the water level has fallen by a user selected level.
When this occurs, the ‘KP’ type float valve moves from a fully ‘closed’ position to a fully ‘open’ position allowing the water to flow in a return to the tank to its original fill level.
Keraflo Aylesbury ‘KP’ Type Float Valve – Product Benefits
Keraflo Aylesbury KP valve’s weighted float can be adjusted to a virtually unlimited range of opening and closing positions, allowing the tank’s stored water level to be easily modified.
Aylesbury KP valve is suitable for installation directly into a tank or raised valve chamber and is lightweight, reducing tank wall stress and avoiding the need for a supporting structure.
The positive action and full bore flow delivered by the ‘KP’ type float valve provides further benefits such as good water turnover fast refill, the eradication of water hammer and reduced noise.
An optional upstream pressure sustaining regulator is available to allow the control valve to regulate itself to leave the desired minimum upstream pressure (adjustable 1-6 bar)
