It operates without electrical power, relying on a float mechanism to open and close the valve as the liquid level rises and falls. The valve body is constructed from bronze for durability in potable water and industrial fluid applications. End connections are female pipe thread on both sides (FPT x FPT), rated for a maximum working pressure of 165 psi and a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F. Flow capacity reaches 100 GPM at 50 psi. Plumbers and mechanical contractors typically handle installation on commercial and industrial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis float valve is suited for residential and commercial tank-fill applications including cooling tower makeup, livestock watering systems, storage tanks, and process fluid reservoirs. The mechanical, non-electric design makes it appropriate for remote or utility installations where electrical controls are impractical. The FPT x FPT configuration allows direct threaded connection to standard IPS pipe fittings. Its bronze construction holds up in clean water and mildly corrosive fluid service where ferrous materials would be a liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBronze valve body resists corrosion in water and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical float operation requires no electrical power or controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFPT x FPT end connections for standard threaded pipe installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 165 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working temperature of 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlow capacity of 100 GPM at 50 psi supports high-demand tank-fill applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style mechanical float valve for threaded pipe systems requiring automatic liquid-level control in tanks and open reservoirs with 1-inch IPS connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system before making any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant to all FPT fittings and verify alignment before tightening to avoid cross-threading the bronze body. Confirm system pressure does not exceed the 165 psi maximum working pressure rating before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Body Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FPT x FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 GPM at 50 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WATTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0780150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WATTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538965561650,"sku":"0780150","price":163.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/86855d11897f82baf8d9a5adc2d40e83.jpg?v=1785831187","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/watts-0780150-mechanical-float-valve-1-in-bronze","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
