Reservoir filling -Very low supply pressure -Low noise generation -Energy cost critical systems -Systems with poor water quality The Model FP 450-66 Level Control Valve with Bi-Level Vertical Float is a hydraulically controlled, diaphragm actuated control valve that controls reservoir filling in response to a hydraulic on/off float pressure command. The Valve opens at pre-set low level and closes at a pre-set high level.

TYPICAL PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
Major Additional Features
Infrastructure Installation
Rooftop reservoir level control is attained by electric control of the basement pumps according to reservoir level. As overflow of a rooftop reservoir can cause costly damage, hydraulic backup protection is recommended.
The Model FP 450-66 is suited to this function. When open, it presents minimal interference, but when needed, it shuts off securely.
To ensure supply pressure to upper floor consumers or the fire protection system, install the Model FP 420 or 42T Pressure Control Valve upstream from the Model FP 450-66.
