Float valve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A float valve is a mechanical feedback mechanism that regulates fluid level by using a float to drive an inlet valve such that a higher fluid level will force the valve closed whilst a lower fluid level will force the valve open. This is an example of negative feedback.
The most common use of a float valve is to control the filling of water in the water tank of a commode (toilet).
