3" (80mm) Keraflo Aylesbury KAX Type Delayed Action Float Valve - Reduced Bore

80mm Keraflo Aylesbury KAX Type Delayed Action Float Valve (Reduced Bore) - The Keraflo Aylesbury “KAX” Type Delayed Action Float Valves are ideal to provide an accurate and efficient method of controlling the level of stored water in cold water storage tanks with raised float valve chambers. Especially suitable for Type AA and AB air gaps.

When the water level inside the tank falls the “KAX” type valve does not immediately open, there is a delay until the water level has fallen to 75mm, when this occurs the valve moves from a fully closed to a fully open position allowing water to flow back into the tank at a maximum flow rate, when the water level has returned to it’s full level the valve closes preventing any dribbling. This action provides a range of benefits including improved water turnover, fast refilling times, no water hammer and reduced noise.

The KAX type valve has an extended drop primarily designed to fit into water tanks where maximum tank capacity is required and it is fitted with a raised chamber, to assist in compliance with air gap requirements the valve discharge is raised above the center line on the inlet. All valves are WRAS approved. Keraflo valves are manufactured in England and designed to operate for long periods of time without maintenance. Also available in stainless steel for use in demanding environment.
