Product Information

The Aylesbury KP Type float valve kit is suitable for cold water storage tanks with or without raised chambers and is comprised of an in-line Control Valve together with an Aylesbury™ KB Type valve sized 3/4″ (20mm) acting as a pilot. The pilot valve offers fully variable delayed action opening and closing water level settings, making this ideal for mains or pumped systems and fire sprinkler systems. This solution delivers an array of practical benefits, as follows:

High Kv Value – The KP Type inline Control Valve is available in Standard and Twin Tank models sized 1 1/2″ (40mm), 2″ (50mm), 2 1/2″ (65mm), 3″ (80mm), 4″ (100m) and 6″ (150mm) offers excellent flow rate performance.

Raised Valve Chamber – Can be small because it only has to accommodate a ¾” (20mm) Aylesbury KB Type float valve and discharge assembly.

Facilitates Air Gaps – The Aylesbury KB Type float valve is supplied with an adjustable chain as standard allowing the closing level to be set below any combination of weir slot, overflow and/or warning device.

Quiet Operation – Aylesbury float valves are quieter than conventional valves due to the elimination of water hammer, valve bounce, “hiss” and dribble.

Positive Fill – The delayed action of Aylesbury float valves delivers a positive fill to actively churn the water in the tank.

Accessibility – An externally mounted Control Valve can be easily inspected, adjusted and, if required, serviced. Re-chlorination of the tank is not necessary provided the tank lid is not removed.

Shallow Tanks – KP Type valves can operate in tanks as shallow as 1 metre in depth.

Deep Tanks – The standard Aylesbury KB pilot valve enables an opening level 2 metres below the inlet level.

Upstream Pressure Sustaining Regulator – This is available as an optional extra and when fitted the Control Valve regulates itself to leave the desired minimum upstream pressure (adjustable 1-6 Bar).

Multiple Discharges – To reduce the risk of stagnation, two or more discharges can be connected to the outlet of the Control Valve. Since the filling pipe is only subjected to low pressure, thin wall PVC pipe can be used.  The KP Type float valve kit can also be configured to service balanced partitioned tanks.

Flexibility and Ease of Installation – Conventional float valves above 3” are heavy and cumbersome, often necessitating a two person installation. When the KP Type in-line Control Valve is mounted outside the tank at floor level, no heavy lifting is required.  The Control Valve can be mounted in one of four positions:

  • Vertically in the pipework (preferred option)
  • Outside the tank at floor level
  • Outside the tank above the tank water level
  • Inside the tank above the tank water level

Precision-engineered and built to last, all Keraflo Aylesbury™ patented delayed action float valves are manufactured under Quality Management Systems certified to ISO.9001:2015 and designed to operate for long periods of time without maintenance.

The valves are easy to install with an ‘up and over’ discharge arrangement which assists in facilitating Type AA, AB, AF, or AG air gap requirements under the Water Regulations.

Please note the Aylesbury KB Type Float Valve plus the Cla-Val are the two components that make up the Aylesbury KP Type Float Valve Kit. Each product is WRAS approved separately and not approved as the kit.

The Aylesbury KP Type float valve kit features an in-line Control Valve together with an Aylesbury KB Type valve sized 3/4″ (20mm) acting as a pilot. The pilot valve offers fully variable delayed action opening and closing water level settings, making this ideal for mains or pumped systems.

When water is taken from the tank and the water level falls (when a tap is opened for example), the Aylesbury KB Type float valve does not immediately open (at a dribble) as would happen with a BS1212 equilibrium valve. There is, instead, a delay; the valve does not open until the water level has fallen to the user-selected level.

When this opening water level is reached the KB Type valve moves from a ‘fully closed’ position into a ‘fully open’ position, allowing water to flow into the tank at a maximum flow rate. When the water level has returned to its original full level, the valve immediately closes from the ‘fully open’ position, preventing any of the ’dribbling’ associated with equilibrium valves.
