WATTS Modulating Float Control M110-10
WATTS Modulating Float Control M110-10
FLOAT VALVE
Function
- Maintains a constant liquid level in reservoir
- Opens when level drop
- Closes when level rises
Schematic Operation
The WATTS ACV M110-10 Modulating Float Control Valve
is designed to automatically maintain a constant liquid level
2 in a tank or reservoir. It controlled by a remote mounted Fig.
10-11 Modulating Float Pilot designed to: 1) Modulate Open
P/L (allowing fluid out of the main valve cover chamber) when
X reservoir level decrease, and, 2) Modulate Close (allowing
fluid to fill the main valve cover chamber) when reservoir
ACS level increases.
A decrease in reservoir level causes the valve to modulate
towards an open position, allowing reservoir water level to
increase. An increase in reservoir level cause the valve to
F modulate towards a closed position, allowing reservoir level
YX
to decrease.
1 The Modulating Float Control Pilot is remotely mounted from
the valve, and field connected with 3/8” minimum copper
tubing (not supplied) in accordance with factory piping
schematic.

Installation Guidelines
• Prior to installation, flush line to remove debris.
• Install valve horizontally “in line” (cover facing up), so flow arrow matches flow through the line. Avoid installing valves size
150 mm and larger vertically. Consult factory prior to ordering if installation is other than described.
• Install inlet and outlet isolation valves. Notes: When using butterfly valves, ensure disc does not contact control valve.
Damage or improper valve seating may occur.
• By-pass isolation valve is recommended to install for maintenance purpose without shutting down the systems.
• Provide adequate clearance for valve servicing and maintenance (refer to Dimension Table).
• It is advisable to install a strainer before the control valve to prevent any solid particle from entering the valve body.
• Install pressure gauge to monitor valve inlet pressure.
• Field installed Modulating Float Control Pilot to basic valve using 3/8” diameter minimum copper tubing (not supplied) in
accordance with factory piping schematic.
• Float Control Pilot should be mounted in a field installed “stilling well” for protection against surface turbulence and
interference.
