FAQ:

Question:How does the valve work?
Answer:The valve operates using a float and a control diaphragm chamber. When hooked up to a water source the valve will allow water to flow through it until the water reaches the bottom of the valve. As the water level rises it causes the float inside of the valve to rise allowing the diaphragm chamber to fill and close the valve.


Question:When will the valve shut off?
Answer: The valve will shut off at about 1 ½" - 2" up from the bottom of the valve depending on pressure (the higher your water pressure the higher up on the valve the water will shut off?

NOTE: there will be a short delay in shut-off the first time the valve is used while the control chamber fills with water.


Question:What type of tubing/pipe should I use to install my Hudson Valve?
Answer: Make sure that your tubing/pipe is of an adequate size:

For the ½" Valve – no smaller than ¼" and no bigger than 1"
For the 1" Valve – no smaller than ½" and no bigger than 2"
