FLOAT VALVE HIGH FLOW 50MM LOW & HIGH PRESSURE 275MM LEVER ARM PHILMAC at a glance

Philmac 200 Series valve meets the demand of the farming sector by providing large volumes of water very quickly

It makes it perfectly suited for high intensity stock watering such as feedlots and dairy

A tough body combined with a new cam and lever arrangement provides a robust valve which can withstand the rigorous treatment it will receive from livestock over many years.

This strength and long life is coupled with a high level of performance both in terms of shut off pressure and also flow.

Farmers can be confident that Philmac high flow float valves are up to the challenge.

Recommended Float Ball: 225mm (9") with 1/2" Whit Thread

Maximum Shut Off Pressure:

690kPa (100psi) in HP configuration , leave insert in connection body

152kPa (22psi) in LP configuration , remove insert in connection body

Install the float valve into your poly tank or trough using the Philmac fitting – thread it in firmly but don't overtighten. Connect your water supply line to the inlet port and check that the 275mm lever arm moves freely without obstruction. Turn on the water slowly and adjust the float arm until it shuts off at your desired water level, then test the valve cycles properly when you draw water from the trough. Tips: Check your reticulation pressure before installation – this 50mm high flow valve suits systems running 100-350kPa, which covers most Queensland farm setups. If you're running dam water through a pump, fit a strainer basket upstream to stop debris fouling the valve seat and causing leaks. Keep the float arm clear of corrosion and test the valve monthly during dry season when demand spikes.
