Apex Bigboy Dual Level Float Valve (Max 1500LPM)

Designed for maximum convenience, the BigBoy® ensures a hassle-free operation with its full on, full off functionality. This means that when both weights of the valve are submerged, indicating the maximum water level, the valve will close. It remains closed until the bottom weight is exposed, indicating the minimum water level. Once the minimum level is reached, the valve opens and stays open until the water level reaches its maximum.

With an impressive flow rate of 1500 liters per minute at 1200 kilopascals (kPa), the BigBoy® boasts an enormous capacity to handle large volumes of water. Whether you need to fill tanks quickly or maintain a steady flow, this valve delivers exceptional performance every time.

HOW IT WORKS

The BigBoy® will be closed when both weights are submerged (maximum water level). The valve will remain closed until the bottom weight is exposed (minimum water level). The valve will then open and remain open until the maximum level is reached.
