Philmac VersaPHIL Parallel Thread
A truly versatile float valve suited to a wide range of applications, the Philmac VersaPHIL float valve has a high pressure shut-off of 1,400 kPa and can deliver high flow rates of of up to 426L/min.
The lever assembly is manufactured from DZR (dezincification resistant) brass. This means they resist corrosion. This prevents the weakening of the brass leading to premature failure.
Rather than a one-piece lever with a narrow cam this new cam is wider to provide significantly greater strength. It provides greater resistance to damage by stock.
A simple pin and stainless R-Pin hold the lever assembly in place. The pins can be removed without any tools, which makes lever adjustment, installation and maintenance a simple task and saves time and effort.
The valves is available in either ¾” or 1” parallel thread inlets and is supplied with a rubber sealing washer and plastic back nut.
