2. Ballcock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballcock

   As the tank water level drops, the float descends and actuates the fill valve. Water is fed to the tank to replenish its supply, and a smaller flow is directed into the overflow tube to refill the bowl. Once the flapper valve closes, the water flow from the fill valve continues until the tank level again reaches the fill line.

3. Level control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_control_valve

   A level control valve or altitude control valve is a type of valve that automatically responds to changes in the height of a liquid in some storage system. A common example is the set of ballcocks in a flush toilet, where each stage of the flush cycle is actuated by the emptying or filling of the tank. Another example is in reservoirs and other ...

4. Float switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

   A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float. Another common type is a float that raises a rod to actuate a microswitch.

5. Float (liquid level) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(liquid_level)

   Liquid level floats, also known as float balls, are spherical, cylindrical, oblong or similarly shaped objects, made from either rigid or flexible material, that are buoyant in water and other liquids. They are non-electrical hardware frequently used as visual sight-indicators for surface demarcation and level measurement. They may also be ...

6. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

7. Sleeve valve (water) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_valve_(water)

   When a cavitation condition does exist the cavitation takes place surrounded by water. Unlike other valves, air is not necessary to control or suppress the cavitation. Because of this a single sleeve valve can replace several standard valves used in series. Sleeve valves can control flow and/or pressure over the entire stroke of the valve.
