FLOAT VALVE

Always ensure that the float valve is mounted rigidly with respect to the water surface. If the tank wall, supply pipe, or mounting bracket is able to flex or move, it may cause the valve to vibrate, oscillate or "sing" very loudly. As the valve starts to close, the pressure increases, causing the valve body to flex away from the water surface. When the valve body moves away, the valve opens wider and the pressure decreases, causing the valve body to flex back to its original position. At this point, the valve body starts to close again, creating a cycle of oscillation. A rigid mounting system prevents the potential for this kind of vibration or oscillation to occur...
