What size pipe does this fit? Is it a standard BSP thread?

This valve is designed for a standard 1/2 inch pipe fitting. It should connect directly to your existing pipework for a water butt or tank.

How does it shut the water off automatically? Does it need wiring in?

No electricity is needed, it's a purely mechanical float valve. As the water level rises, it lifts an internal float which closes the valve, stopping the flow.

What's it made of? Can it handle hot water or high pressure?

The valve body is made entirely of nylon, which resists corrosion and wear. It is designed for standard water systems and is suitable for cold or ambient temperature water.

This automatic float valve is a simple hydraulic valve. It keeps your water tanks and troughs full. It uses water pressure and buoyancy to work. It stops the flow when the water reaches the right level. It refills when the level drops. No electricity is needed. Features and Benefits - Fully automatic operation - It opens to fill and closes when full. You don't have to check water levels by hand. - Standard 1/2" NPT fitting - It connects to common plumbing pipes and hoses. You don't need special adapters for installation. - Mechanical operation - It works without electricity. This makes it safe for outdoor troughs, remote tanks, and places without power. - Nylon and stainless steel parts - The body and inside parts resist rust and wear. This happens even with constant water contact. Applications - Keeping a steady water level in livestock water troughs. - Automatically refilling a home water storage tank or cistern. - Topping off water in hydroponic systems, ponds, or large aquariums.
