Aylesbury ''K' Type
- Delayed Action Float Valve
- Non adjustable opening / closing operating differential approximately 75mm
- Suitable for tanks without raised valve chambers
The weighted key-shaped float which is supplied with Aylesbury ''K' Type float valves can be accurately set in a number of positions on the brass float arm, actuating the valve at a predetermined difference in water level, driving it fully open or fully closed without water hammer. This positive action avoids dribble, reduces noise and allows full flow until the selected closed level is reached. Inherent in the design is a non-adjustable operating differential in water level between opening and closing of approximately 75mm. Also available in stainless steel for use in demanding environments such as desalination plants and sea water.

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
