Key Information

The Keraflo Aylesbury KAX Type Delayed Action Float Valve is a precision-engineered mechanical float valve designed to provide accurate and efficient control of cold water levels in storage tanks with raised valve chambers. Incorporating Keraflo’s patented delayed action ceramic disc technology, the valve delivers positive full-bore on/off operation, eliminating valve dribble, reducing water hammer and improving water turnover. Featuring an extended discharge arrangement to assist with air gap compliance, the KAX Type is particularly suited to commercial cold water storage systems where maximum tank capacity and reliable long-term performance are required.

Features

• Designed for Raised Valve Chambers – Specifically engineered for cold water storage tanks with raised valve chambers, covers or boxes.
• Patented Ceramic Disc Technology – Pressure-compensated rotating ceramic discs provide maintenance-free operation with no seat or washer to wear.
• Delayed Action Operation – Full-bore on/off operation reduces water hammer, eliminates valve dribble and improves water turnover.
• Enhanced Air Gap Compliance – Extended ‘up and over’ discharge arrangement helps facilitate Type AA, AB, AF and AG air gap requirements under the Water Regulations.
• Ideal for Pumped Systems – Positive valve operation helps prevent pump hunting while maximising tank capacity and refill performance.
• 0–10 Bar Working Pressure – Suitable for commercial cold water storage applications operating at pressures from 0 to 10 bar.
