LEVEL CONTROL

MODEL 206-F-TYPE 4
MODULATING FLOAT VALVE
KEY FEATURES
• Maintains relatively constant level
• Automatic compensation for level draw-down
• Standard integral damping reduces hunting
• Drip-tight at high level shut-off
• Low supply pressure options

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Singer model 206-F-Type 4 modulating float valves are based on the 206-PG main valve. They are ideal for
balancing the inflow and outflow demand into the reservoir and maintaining level at the designated maximum.

The valve closes drip-tight at the maximum level and modulates to maintain the tank level. The float pilot is
remotely installed at the high level in the reservoir tank. Pilot connections to the main valve are connected in the
field. As the reservoir level drops the main valve is opened proportionally to increase the filling rate. Movement
of the main stem alters the size of the closing restriction, interrupting the tendency of the valve to hunt.

For 2 in / 50 mm and smaller, refer to Schematic
A-0399C.
SELECTION SUMMARY
1. 
Generally select line size to minimize losses
during normal forward flow.
2. 
Use the performance curves and sizing bulletin
to check the pressure drop across the valve at
normal flow rate.
3. 
Check the maximum operating pressure against
the maximum working pressure rating of
the flanges.
4. If the outlet pressure is less than 35% of the inlet
pressure, check for cavitation.
5.  the inlet pressure is less than 10 psi / 0.7 bar
If
higher than the maximum reservoir head, consult
with Singer Valve.
6. Assisted opening may be required for full flow.
Schematic A-0608D - for non-modulating (on-off) service, refer to
model 106-F-Type 5 / 206-F-Type 5 float valve
- for high tower reservoir, refer to models
106-A-Type 1 / 206-A-Type 1, or 2, or 3, or 4
