Hudson Plastic Float Valves V-1/2 and V-1

The Hudson Valve's unique design maintains fluid level in various applications replacing other kinds of valves. The valve operates using a float and a control diaphragm chamber. The Hudson valve will allow water to flow through it until the water reaches the bottom of the valve. As the water level rises it causes the float inside of the valve to rise filing the diaphragm chamber and closing the valve. The Hudson Valve is designed to be used in water. For Aquariums, Car Washes, Evaporative Coolers, Fountains, Holding Tanks, Irrigation Systems, Landscaping, Livestock Tank, Ponds, Swimming Pools....and more
