![]() What would you say the most reliable float valve would be? I've always had good luck with the Kent float valves (knock on wood) but I need something that attaches to a baffle in a sump. I was looking at this one:

![]() I ordered one of these from J&L, I tested it on a 5 gallon bucket and it didn't work. It just wouldn't seal and eventually overflowed. I ended up going to crappy tire and buying one of these http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

![]() 5 out of 6 of my Kent float valves have sealed properly, one leaked a slow trickle of about 3l/day. I have had these installed on my sumps for several years without issue. Is the baffle glass? I just got some acrylic and bent a bracket for my float valves for my sumps that have glass baffles.

![]() Jason, I can show you a way to mount the Kent to a baffle, I've always used Kent and rarely had trouble. One needed a bead of silicone around the seam to prevent it from taking on water, but overall, 12 years using them and I would keep using them.

![]() Thanks guys. I've already got a Kent valve so maybe I'll stick with that if you can show me how to mount it Brad.
