Philmac EasyPhil Tank Float Valve
Manufactured with DZR Brass: Quality brass which is resistant to the loss of zinc which causes leakage.
The EasyPhil valves are approved to the AS/NZS 4020 standard which means that they can be used in applications that are required for drinking water (also known as potable water).
The body, plunger, back-nut and body cap are all manufactured from engineering grade thermoplastic. This provides a high level of wear, UV and corrosion resistance to ensure years of realiable service. The material is non-toxic and taint free.
Alike many other Philmac float valves, the brass lever and pin are manufactured with a corrosive resistant brass, known as DZR (dezincification resistant) brass.
Hansen SuperFlo Tank Float Valve
Supplied with Complete Plastic Valve Body, Long Brass Arm, 15mm Long Tail Adaptor and 650mm Cord and Nuts.

The FastFlo valves have a small, compact design suited to confined spaces i.e. small feeder bowls, troughs and header tanks.
Hansen Fastflo Valve will operate from 0 to 12 Bar (0 to 174 psi) at 20 degrees C.
Maximum Working Pressure; 12 Bar (174 psi) at 20 degrees C.

Water Level Indicator
Water Level Indicator is designed to provide a clear and simple visual indication of the water level inside your tank without the need for power or electronics. The system operates using two floats connected by a rod that moves freely up and down as the water level changes, allowing you to easily monitor tank levels from ground level.
The indicator features an adjustable patented uni ball joint that allows installation on a wide range of tank roof angles, making it suitable for different tank types and configurations. Manufactured from UV resistant premium quality materials, it is designed to withstand outdoor conditions and long term exposure to sunlight.
Suitable for use on all water tanks including rainwater tanks and storage tanks. Spare extension tubes and replacement floats are available if additional height or maintenance is required.
Made in New Zealand.
