The particular float valve we are replacing is a plunger-type float valve. Before doing anything the first job is to isolate the water supply to your cistern or header tank. If you’re lucky there may be an isolation valve just before your float valve. If so simply turn the valve to the off position.
Mount every float vent and each expansion tank on a ball valve so they can be shut off and replaced quickly. Use the proper pressure relief (PR) valves in the solar glycol loop with the right pressure rating and no temperature probe. Install a metal blow-off tube from the PR valve into a metal collection tank.
Use a float vent anywhere access to a manual air vent is difficult. Mount every float vent and each expansion tank on a ball valve so they can be shut off and replaced quickly.

The float valve or ball valve or ballcock as it’s also known is a type of valve found in many homes across the UK in toilet cisterns and heating systems. Over time they can become worn and fail and when this happens they need to be replaced so read on below to find out how. What is a Float Valve?
As the water level in the toilet cistern or tank drops it lowers the ball and arm which in turn opens the valve and allows water to flow. The most common type of float valve or ballcock valve is the plunger or piston type valve. As the arm raises or lowers it moves the piston or plunger allowing water to flow or cutting it off and stopping it.
The float valve, often referred to as the fill valve, is the unsung hero responsible for regulating the water flow into your toilet's tank. Think of it as the gatekeeper that ensures your tank doesn't overflow or run dry. Now, onto the ballcock. This is the component that keeps your tank's water level in check.
