I'm using the float valve to refill our garden pond, but some of loses during hot weather to water by evaporation. For this, the valve is connected to the automatic irrigation system. The connecting thread is the way 1/2 inch, which can be found here in the article nowhere, only the product name on the manufacturer's website.
The valve opens and closes reliably, but I lack a bit of flow. I had previously another product, which was very similar to the structure in which the flow rate, however, was significantly higher.
