BOBBY

BOBBY is a manufacturer of float valve assemblies, primarily serving applications that require precise liquid level control in water-based systems. The product line includes both general service and food-grade sanitary float valve assemblies, all designed for bulkhead mounting with angle valve bodies and rectangular float configurations. The general service models, such as the RM66, RM153, and RM64, are constructed with plastic bodies and brass or plastic components, featuring adjustable arms and Santoprene rubber seals. These units deliver flow rates ranging from 1.31 gpm at 35 psi to 2.25 gpm at 85 psi, making them suitable for a variety of industrial water management tasks. The food-grade and sanitary assemblies, including the RM262 and RM292 series, comply with NSF/ANSI 169 Special Purpose Food Equipment & Device standards, ensuring they meet hygiene requirements for food processing, beverage production, and pharmaceutical environments. These models are available in plastic body configurations with flow rates as low as 0.3 gpm for precise low-flow control or up to 2.25 gpm for higher capacity needs. All BOBBY float valve assemblies are designed for bulkhead mounting, simplifying installation into tanks or reservoirs, and include the rod and float as part of the assembly. The valves operate on water media only and are not rated for other fluids. 3G Electric supplies the full range of BOBBY float valve assemblies, including both general service and NSF-certified food-grade variants, with options for 1/4-inch MNPT connections and adjustable arms. This allows plant engineers and maintenance managers to select the appropriate model based on required flow rate, material compatibility, and regulatory standards. The assemblies are built for reliable, maintenance-free operation in continuous-duty applications, with no need for external power or complex controls. 3G Electric supports these products with logistics for global shipment, ensuring that procurement specialists can source the correct BOBBY float valve assembly for their specific tank level control requirements, whether in food processing facilities, water treatment plants, or general industrial settings.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BOBBY from 3G Electric.

What NSF/ANSI standards do BOBBY food-grade float valve assemblies meet?

BOBBY food-grade float valve assemblies, such as the RM262 and RM292 series, are certified to NSF/ANSI 169 Special Purpose Food Equipment & Device standards. This certification ensures the materials and design are suitable for contact with food products during processing, storage, or handling. The valves are constructed with plastic bodies and components that resist corrosion and leaching, making them appropriate for use in food and beverage applications where hygiene is critical.

What is the maximum flow rate for BOBBY general service float valve assemblies?

BOBBY general service float valve assemblies, including models like the RM64 and RM153, have a maximum flow rate of 2.25 gpm at 85 psi. Lower flow models, such as the RM66, deliver 1.31 gpm at 35 psi. These rates are based on water media at the specified inlet pressure. Actual flow may vary depending on installation conditions, tank pressure, and pipe sizing.

Are BOBBY float valve assemblies suitable for use with media other than water?

No, BOBBY float valve assemblies are designed specifically for water media only. The manufacturer specifies water as the intended fluid, and using these valves with other liquids, such as oils, chemicals, or wastewater, may cause seal degradation, corrosion, or improper operation. For non-water applications, consult 3G Electric for alternative valve solutions.

What mounting configuration do BOBBY float valve assemblies use?

All BOBBY float valve assemblies are designed for bulkhead mounting. This means the valve body is installed through a hole in the tank wall or lid, with a nut or flange securing it in place. The bulkhead design allows for easy installation and removal without requiring special tools, and it provides a leak-proof seal when properly fitted. The rectangular float and angle valve body orientation are optimized for this mounting style.

What materials are used in BOBBY float valve assemblies?

BOBBY float valve assemblies use plastic for the valve body in most models, with some general service versions incorporating brass components for added durability. The seal material is Santoprene rubber, which offers good resistance to water and mild chemicals. The float is typically plastic or brass, depending on the model. Food-grade models use all-plastic construction to meet NSF/ANSI 169 requirements and avoid metallic contamination.

Can BOBBY float valve assemblies be adjusted for different tank fill levels?

Yes, many BOBBY float valve assemblies feature adjustable arms, allowing the float position to be set for different tank fill levels. Models like the RM66, RM153, and RM292 series include this adjustability. The adjustment mechanism typically involves a threaded rod or clamp that lets you change the float height relative to the valve body, thereby controlling the shut-off point. Non-adjustable models have a fixed arm length for a preset fill level.
