FLOAT VALVE LOW PRESSURE FLOAT (OLDER STYLE) BAINBRIDGE A3018-LP at a glance

The larger volume replacement plastic float valves for our automatic drinking bowls (suits all automatic bowls other than the pet waterer A3153)

Enables a positive shut-off action

The float level is easily to adjust and set by changing the angle of the float

Two options available to suit either low or high pressure (the high-pressure version is supplied with the original bowls)

Requires a ½” female BSP connection

Install the float valve onto your poly tank or trough inlet, ensuring the ball float moves freely without obstruction. Connect your water supply line to the inlet port and adjust the float arm so the ball sits at your desired water level—typically 50-75mm from the top of the tank. Turn on the water supply slowly and check for leaks at all connection points. Once set, the valve will automatically open and close to maintain your chosen water level. Tips: Always check your water supply pressure matches the low-pressure rating of this valve—most rural systems run 100-350kPa, so verify yours before installing. If you're running dam or tank water with sediment, fit a strainer on the inlet line to prevent debris fouling the valve seat. Keep the float arm clear of any obstacles so it can move smoothly; a stuck float won't shut off properly and you'll waste water.
