Kerick Valve MA252 PVC Mini Float Valve, Tank Mount, Adjustable Arm, 1.5 gpm at 60 psi, 1/4" Tube

EDIT: I'm no longer using this valve after another valve failure and subsequent basement flood on the rodi system. I can't recommend it to anyone. After the repair described below, the valve worked for a while before failing once more. You should use it at your own risk. My previous float valves never gave me any trouble. Terrible quality controlbr>br>Irrationalbr>br> My basement was flooded twice because of a flaw in the compression fitting that slides over the rodi tubing. Not cool. If you buy this, be aware that it is possible that it will not work; if you buy it, be aware that it is possible that it will not work. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

To function as an automatic waterer, I use this directly on a Lowe's 2 gallon bucket with chicken nipple waterer (threaded style oasis poultry water nipples). It does an excellent job of preventing water overflow, and I appreciate the adjustable arm that allows me to adjust the water level as needed. The compression nut ferrule that allows 1/4 tubing to stay on water was missing from my valve when it was shipped. As soon as you receive the valve, inspect it for any missing parts. I use a digital water timer (Orbit 91213) to control the water refill time at the spigot, so I can't comment on how well the product will hold up over time. run under constant water pressure, which will most likely be determined by the pressure of the incoming water. Our water main psi (pressure at which water enters the house) is set at 75 (it was originally at 50 psi), and the float valve has always stopped any water overflow when I've tested it. I try to avoid leaving our garden hoses under pressure because we've lost a few of them that way (especially after we increased to 75 psi to improve shower) and it's a waste of money, so check your psi and use a timer if possible, or at the very least use a pressure regulator and/or partially open your spigot valve to lower water pressure. I employ each of the three methods - Pressure regulator, timer, and float value are all included. It's always preferable to be safe rather than sorry.

0 K550/K560 K550/K560 K550/K560 K550/K560 K Great quality and service; I'll give it 5 stars even though my first unit was defective; Amazon quickly replaced it, and I'm now satisfied. This is what I'm using to direct-plumb a Keurig K550/K560 with RO-water. water that has been purified The following are some of the features of this valve that I find appealing:

If you want to make sure that your tube and fittings are all food-safe, you'll need to do some research. If you're using RO water, you should insist on this for ANYTHING that comes into contact with it. br>- It's adjustable enough that it can be stuffed into this oddly-shaped space.

Simply unscrew the nut, bend the float arm at the joint in the desired direction, and reinstall the nut. Getting this at the exact right angle for the Keurig 2 was quite a pain. 0 brewer, but in the end, I was able to secure it so that the float could rise and fall without colliding with the reservoir's sides. Because the lid is not flat, I needed to make the outlet portion flush with the top of the lid. It has a curved shape to it. The outlet does not stick up at a 90-degree angle in this case. You'll need to secure the nut differently if the lid/top is at a 45-degree angle. No complaints about this device because this was more a function of the Keurig than the float valve. br>br>How could it be better? If the outlet could be rotated 90 degrees with respect to the float arm's/float's axis of motion; However, this is due to the odd-ball nature of the situation. On the K550/K560, there are shaped reservoirs. Instead of top-mounting the valve, I could have mounted it in the back or on the side if this option had been available. putting it up This is due to the heavily curved and contoured sides of the reservoir, necessitating a strange angle between the float arm/float and the outlet.

Instead, use this one. br> This happened around April 10th, and it's now April 29th, and my valve still hasn't shut off automatically. I'm thankful I have a water detector near the unit. Around 2:00 a. m. , the water alarm went off. The time is 30 a. m. I dash downstairs to see what's causing the flooding, only to discover that my new float valve, which I installed less than a month ago, is still open. It's still sucking in water, despite the fact that the water level is high enough for it to be turned off. My water detector most likely saved me from having to replace my entire hardwood floor as a result of this valve. BUYING IS A MISTAKE. I've had no problems with this float valve in the past four months.

The float was completely submerged parallel to the water line, and the water flow slowed to a crawl but was still sufficient to flood the room. That does not make me happy. It wasn't like there was a lot of PSI because the source was a small RO water system. I've purchased a few of these, and as with a few other items I've purchased on Amazon, the ones I purchased a few years ago worked perfectly, while the ones I purchased recently did not.

Used in a 55 gallon drum to turn off the water supply to my RO unit (which was stored in the garage). I had a minor leak (a drip) at the start. I kept tightening the valve adapter, but I couldn't get the drip to stop despite my best efforts (it's plastic). So, I removed the adapter portion and discovered that the compression nut had not been properly installed when I first installed it, had caught, and was being. ill-treated Thankfully, it could still be saved. I was able to successfully reinstall it and reassemble everything. Everything is working perfectly now, and there isn't a single drip to be seen.
