Frequently Asked Questions

What material is used for making Kerick Valve's float rods?

The brand's float rods feature stainless steel construction to handle temperature variants and corrosion.

How do Kerick Valve float balls work with float valves?

The float ball is attached to a lever arm or stem, which is connected to the valve mechanism. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float ball moves accordingly. When the float ball reaches a certain height, it activates the lever arm, causing the valve to open or close and regulate the flow of liquid.

How do I select the right float valve for my application?

  • Determine the desired flow rate or volume of liquid that needs to be controlled by the valve.
  • Consider the pressure at which the valve will operate.
  • Also consider the space limitations, mounting options and any specific installation requirements of your application.

How to ensure proper operation of Kerick float valves?

  • Periodically inspect the float valve and its components for any signs of damage, wear or buildup.
  • Keep the float valve clean and free from debris. Regularly clean the float mechanism to prevent sticking or malfunctioning.
  • Apply a suitable lubricant to moving parts of the float valve to ensure smooth operation.
