  2. Ballcock - Wikipedia

    A later innovation, the floatless fill valve, designed for low-profile, low-flow toilet tanks, uses a pressure-sensing diaphragm mechanism instead of a float to control the inlet valve. [4] Delay valves, which delay the filling until the level has dropped to a low level, avert short-cycling of the water supply.

  3. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

    Brass-bodied float valve. An automatic bleeding valve or air release valve (ARV) is a plumbing valve used to automatically release trapped air from a heating system. Air, or other gas, may collect within plumbing. For water delivery systems to taps and basins, particularly with good main supply pressure, this air is usually flushed through with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet

    The ballcock or float valve is often used to regulate the filling of a tank or cistern. When the fluid level drops, the float descends, levering the valve opening and allowing more fluid to enter. Once the float reaches the 'full' position, the arm presses the valve shut again. Tank fill valves are found in all tank-style toilets. The valves ...

  5. Level control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_control_valve

    A level control valve or altitude control valve is a type of valve that automatically responds to changes in the height of a liquid in some storage system. A common example is the set of ballcocks in a flush toilet, where each stage of the flush cycle is actuated by the emptying or filling of the tank.

    The valves are held open by a 2-inch diameter auto-fill tube to allow the casing to fill with mud while it is lowered down the well. BP's casing installation procedure stated: "slowly increase (mud) pump rates greater than 8 bpm to convert the float equipment (~ 500 – 700 psi) per Weatherford recommendation". [75] Pressure test wrongly ...

  7. Float chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_chamber

    The valve is often described as a needle valve, although this is a misnomer. A true needle valve uses a tapered needle in a tapered seat, so as to provide fine control over flow rate. The float valve uses a pointed needle against a square-edged seat, to give a positive shut-off. As the float relies on gravity, the chamber must be mounted ...
