DN15 1/2" Adjustable Float Valve – Auto Water Level Control
DN15 1/2" Plastic Float Valve – Automatic Water Level Control for Tanks & Hydroponics
Keep your water tank, reservoir, or hydroponic system perfectly filled — automatically. This DN15 1/2" adjustable float ball valve uses a simple hydraulic mechanism to maintain the ideal water level with zero electricity required. When the water rises to the set level, the float arm shuts off flow; when it drops, flow resumes. It's a reliable, set-and-forget solution for home, garden, and agricultural use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size fitting does this float valve use, and will it fit my tank?
A: This float valve uses a standard 1/2" DN15 male thread with a 20mm outer diameter. It is designed for side-mounted or tank wall installation, fitting most standard water tanks, reservoirs, and agricultural troughs that accept a 1/2" threaded fitting.
Q: Does this float valve require electricity or batteries to operate?
A: No. The DN15 float valve works entirely on hydraulic mechanical principles — the buoyancy of the float ball opens and closes the valve automatically as the water level changes. No electricity, wiring, or batteries are needed.
Q: Can I use this float valve with hot water or high-pressure systems?
A: This valve is designed for cold water use only, with a working temperature range of 0–60°C and a maximum working pressure of ≤ 0.6 MPa. It is not suitable for hot water, steam, or high-pressure applications beyond these limits.
Q: How do I adjust the water level with this float valve?
A: The float arm features a 360° rotation adjustment, allowing you to set the float ball position to control the exact water level you need. Simply rotate the arm to raise or lower the cutoff point before installing in your tank.
