Float valves use a rod and float ball attached to a valve shutoff lever to control flow in or out of a tank. The float ball rises or falls with the level of liquid in the tank, changing the angle of the valve shutoff lever. Float valves are used to automatically regulate the level of liquid within tanks in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock water tanks, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing plants.

"The line I had connected dryed and broke off inside the valve and I could not fix it."
"I was replacing a toilet type fill valve for a pond auto-fill ."
"I bought this to replace my leaking automatic goat watering float valve."
"So I put a cap on the outlet hole to slow down the water going out enough for the in-flow to catch up and, after a little fiddling and adjusting, it's working great."
"Got this to keep a 5 gallon bucket full of water for my chickens."
"I wanted to also make it self filling so that I didn't have to worry about adding water and having an overflow hole, so I put in this valve, added a hose bib adapter and connected it to a faucet timer (just in case I had some blow out, I didn't want to just leave it turned on all the time)."
"The float plugs a toothpick sized hole with some sort of soft rubber."
Best Ball Valves
Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter or the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and termed reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe.

"This brass mini ball valve, a 4" schedule 80 threaded brass pipe and a couple 1/4" brass elbows and I was able to replace the useless screw-type drain valve on my 27-gallon upright air compressor."
"I bought this to help make filling 1lb propane cylinders from a 20lb propane cylinder easier for me."
"Purchased 2, one for each compressor and quality is the same."
"I needed these and they are hard to find at the local hardware."
"For fast shut off, these valves are tops."
"I did notice the brass expand slightly when I tightened down one end, probably far too much with a long spanner and a vice."
"As advertised and I would buy this again."
Best Butterfly Valves
The lever handle rotates the disc in the valve seat to fully open, regulate, or stop flow through the valve. Butterfly valves are used to regulate flow between pipes, tubes, and hoses by rotating a lens-shaped disc in the center of the valve and are suited for high-capacity, low-pressure applications. When the valve is fully opened, the disc face is parallel to the inlet and outlet of the valve, and when the valve is closed, the disc face is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Wafer-style design for a seal against two-way pressure to prevent backflow in single-direction systems.

"works perfect and was easy to install."
"smooth operation and solid."
"I inspected the leaky Valterra valve and discovered that during assembly (made in Mexico) the O ring seal had been crimped and deformed which caused the leak."
Best Globe Valves
Globe valves control flow rates in a piping system by the lift of a vertical stem and disk, which must be turned to open and close the valve. The stem on globe valves can be either rising (moves up as the valve opens) to indicate if the flow is on or off, or non-rising (stem height remains constant when the valve is either open or closed) for use in small spaces. Brass stem and disc for higher corrosion resistance than steel.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have plenty of water pressure to compensate for the pressure drop (100lbs+) And I have a large diameter hose feeding the trailer, I guess I could be getting some restriction from the fresh water hookup on the trailer but when one of the other pressure reducers (calibrated hole type) fails they always seem to fail in such a way that I get way more pressure and volume so its like they aren't even there."
