In the product image, the float has a diameter of 45mm (1-inch). The length without the arm is 75mm (2-1/2"), and the length with the arm is 49/64". 61/64")
It's just a float that you put in the line that comes out of the RO system with the valve and adjust to the desired level.
That's how I did it, and it's lasted three seasons in the middle of the Midwest. Hand tight, then a quarter turn with the wrench tight, as if it were an oil gasket.
Why would it be required to meet minimum pressures, naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa When there is enough pressure for the float to flow, it will easily seal off when it is full.

This float valve was purchased with the intention of automating the refilling of my Keurig's water reservoir. I connected it to the output line of my reverse osmosis water filter and now have a hot mug of brew without having to see the annoying blue 'Add water' light. "You paid $12 for your purchase. What do you get for 99 and 2 hours of your time? It's ridiculous! What is the maximum amount of laziness you can tolerate? "Honey, you have to work hard to be lazy," I said calmly, smug and satisfied.
It worked perfectly. I'm afraid that if it breaks, I'll be kicking myself for only spending about $10 on it, but it was simple to put together and does not leak. I connected my humidifier to the line that ran under the bathroom sink. br>br>I dashed to the hardware store to get the water line adapter shown above. br>br>It's great that it has a shut-in. It's pretty well thought out, with the off valve and water line.
Our coffee maker responded well to the kit. I turned off the cold water in the sink and poured it into the Keurig through a filter. I'm sure I'm a slacker.
I needed a float valve for my outdoor fountain, and despite the negative reviews, I figured it was worth a shot for the price. Despite the fact that it appears to be delicate and unlikely to withstand much abuse, it worked out perfectly when installed with care. Because the tubing isn't too stiff, it was easy to route and keep in place. There were sharks in the mix. Bite-type connectors are reliable and do not leak. The float can be adjusted to fit almost any mounting configuration. Your float valve will keel in the end, sir.
Originally, I planned to construct an electric system that included a liquid level pcb, two probes, and a 120V inlet valve. The total would have been around $95. Why not give it a shot? I saw this and thought it was a good idea. It does, in fact, work flawlessly. I just needed to buy a 1/4 inch tee to connect it under the sink to the water filter output, which already had a 1/4 line. On the drill, I used a 5/8 paddle bit and proceeded slowly. There are no flaws. It's great that the Keurig doesn't need to be refilled.
This is how I turned my Keurig into an automatic coffee maker. It's got a full reservoir and it's working great. I was a little concerned about the size of the float in the back, but it's easily adjustable, and I was able to make it work. In this video, I demonstrate how I used it to customize my Keurig. I turned off the water supply to the refrigerator with a T. Keep in mind that there is a risk that the float valve will stop working, causing the Keurig to overflow and flood your home. To reduce the risk, I turn off the water to the Keurig when it's not in use, but you could also use water sensors and automated shutoffs in the basement if you're feeling particularly daring.
It works like a charm. I'm not sure if I used it for what it was designed for, but with a few tweaks, it keeps my Keurig filled all the time.
This was used to connect a ro system to a new ice maker I bought. All of the adapters that came with it were ideal for my setup. The larger to smaller adapter was the only piece I didn't use. If you know how a toilet float valve works, you'll know that the float valve works in the same way: it closes once the water level rises to a certain level. The line length was sufficient for my project, and the clips that lock the tubes into the adapters have an extra lip that makes them easier to pull out than the ones that came with my ro system.
