Tecofi float valves
A mechanical float valve holds the water level steady in a tank or cistern: the float rises with the water and closes the valve, and drops as the level falls to open it again, with no power needed. Tecofi lists RF1100 with a brass body and BSP male threads (PVC or copper float), RF6141 with a 316 stainless body and BSP threads (316 stainless float, 16 bar, up to +200°C) and the RF3240/RF3241 cast-iron range with flanges.
| Model | Materials | Connection | Pressure / temperature |
|---|---|---|---|

| RF6141 + RFIFLOT | 316 stainless body, shaft and float | BSP | 16 bar; -60°C to +200°C |
| RF3240 / RF3241 | GG25 cast-iron body, epoxy painted | Flanged | 16 bar or 10 bar; RF3241: -10°C to +120°C |

How does a float valve work?
The float is linked to the valve body by a lever arm; as the level drops the float falls and pulls the disc off its seat so water flows in; when the level is reached the float rises and pushes the disc closed.
Brass or stainless float?
PVC and copper floats suit ordinary clean water; stainless floats suit more corrosive media or higher temperatures. Send the tank details and filling flow and CAD will advise.
