This Beta 1/2 inch high-pressure float-operated ball valve is ideal for applications requiring reliable water level control in demanding environments. Its durable brass construction ensures longevity, while the float mechanism provides automatic shut-off. A potential caveat is the specific 50mm tail length, which needs to match your plumbing setup.

This valve is designed for clean water systems. It can be used with both cold and hot water, provided the temperature and pressure are within the product's specifications.
The water level is typically adjusted by bending the float arm slightly. Bending it downwards lowers the water level, while bending it upwards raises it. Make small adjustments and test.
Yes, brass construction is generally suitable for potable water systems, but always refer to specific product certifications if critical.
It means the valve meets the British Standard specification for float-operated valves, ensuring a certain level of performance, safety, and reliability.
The tail is a fixed component. For different lengths, you would need to use appropriate plumbing connectors or adaptors suitable for your specific installation needs.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to inspect the valve and float mechanism for wear and tear or debris every 6-12 months, depending on water quality.
Check if the float is obstructed or if there is debris preventing the valve from seating correctly. Ensure the water pressure is within the valve's operating range. Clean the float mechanism and the valve seat.
Inspect the thread connection and ensure it is tightened properly with adequate sealant. Check the valve seat for damage or debris. Ensure the float is allowing the valve to close completely.
Clear any obstructions around the float arm or the float itself. If the arm is bent, it may need to be gently straightened or replaced. Ensure the water is not excessively turbulent, which could knock the float out of position.
Ensure the inlet supply has adequate pressure. Check for any blockages within the valve or the connected pipework. The 50mm tail is a fixed length and does not impact flow rate beyond its connection point.
Setup: Ensure the water supply is turned off before installation. Screw the 1/2 inch threaded end into your water system's inlet. The 50mm tail should connect securely to your existing pipework, using appropriate sealing tape or compound if necessary. Ensure the float arm has ample clearance to move freely without obstruction.
Compatibility: This valve is designed for water systems and is compatible with standard 1/2 inch plumbing connections. It is suitable for cold and hot water applications within its pressure and temperature ratings. Verify the 50mm tail length matches your specific installation requirements.
Care: Periodically inspect the valve and float mechanism for any signs of wear or blockage. Flush the system to clear any sediment that might impede the float's movement. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the brass body; a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning.
