Float valves and lever valves are designed to control the level of liquids through mechanically actuation. Float valves are actuated through the attached float ball, float rod, and lever assembly and do not require any external power source. Lever valves are actuated through the use of some external power source such as manual operation, float boxes/mechanisms, electric motors or other actuators, through external linkage to the lever of the valve.
Lever valves are designed to control the flow of liquids, gases or steam. This can be done by manual operation, float boxes or mechanisms, electric motors or other actuators through linkage to the lever of the valve. With the purchase of Klipfel Valves Inc. in 1962, there was a combining of engineering talents and features of both valve companies resulting today in this complete line.
