Adjustable Hudson jig

[VanDiesel99 14]

I am interested in seeing a picture of how someone has there float valve setup to shutoff at a certain level. I use a hudson float valve, and I plan on increasing the size of my tank. The only problem with that is that I don't always want the entire tank to fill up. I am looking for some way to adjust the depth of the float valve so that the water will only fill up to a certain level before the valve shuts it off. Someone had mentioned fastening the float valve to the end of a pipe, but then how would it be adjusted where it would stay put at a certain depth. Any ideas would be appreciated!

If you have the valve going into the top of the tank, you can put a larger pipe than the float valve uses to make a sleeve.

You then put the float on the smaller required pipe and have a set screw on the sleeve. So when you raise and lower the float you can tighten it down.

Think along the lines of the adjustable pole lights, like those at Home Depot., one pipe slodes in the other.

I too am looking at installing a Float ball valve in my 325 gallon tank to cut off at a the 200 gallon mark.

Do any vets have a picture they could post showing the installation? I would be very greatful.

The easiest way that I've found is to buy the black pvc sprinkler risers that are about 6-8 inces long and connect them with the white pvc couplers. You can lengthen or shorten as needed by simply adding or removing sections with a quick twist, then re-attach to hudson valve.
