Genebre Float Valve Type 2856

The Genebre 2856 is a mechanical float valve constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, designed for level control in water storage tanks. Flow is mechanically shut off via the float and lever arm, without the use of electrical sensors, PLCs, or actuators. The technical datasheet specifies WRAS approval for potable water applications.

Technical Specifications

Body material: AISI 316 stainless steel
Seat sealing: silicone
Max operating pressure: 10 bar
Max operating temperature: 150 °C
DN 10–DN 65: threaded connection ISO 228-1
DN 80–DN 100: flanged connection EN 1092 PN 10/16
Full port construction
Replaceable seat: JS2856

Dimensions and Flow Rates

Available sizes range from 3/8" to 4" (DN 10 to DN 100). Manufacturer flow tables specify l/h at 1–10 bar differential pressure. For reference, the 2856 04 1/2" delivers 2,829–8,938 l/h, while the 2856 12 4" delivers 92,231–291,714 l/h, depending on pressure differential.

Suitable Media and Applications

Primary use is for filling and level control in clean or potable water tanks. For process water or chemically affected liquids, compatibility with AISI 316 and silicone must be verified.

Typical applications:

potable water storage tanks
industrial auxiliary water tanks
tank filling without electrical automation
applications requiring stainless float valves over brass

Selection and Maintenance

Selection is based on DN, available pressure, required filling flow, float diameter, and available movement space. The silicone seat is critical for tightness and should be inspected in water with salts, suspended solids, or scaling risk.

FAQ

When to select threaded vs flanged version?
Threaded connections are used up to DN 65. For DN 80 and DN 100, the series uses EN 1092 PN 10/16 flanges.

Is the float always included?
The 2856 valve is combined with Genebre 2852 floats, with float diameters from 90 to 400 mm depending on DN.

Certificates

GENEBRE, S.A. has implemented a quality management system to control the designing and manufacturing of fluid control valves, as well as the distribution of home and public taps.

This system complies with the requirements of the current international UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2015, certified by the prestigious German certification organization TÜV Rheinland.

In 2000, GENEBRE began to comply with the European Business Excellence Model, more commonly known as the EFQM. As a result, in 2003, the Catalan Regional Government awarded us with the Quality Award. This new system enables us to ensure the quality of GENEBRE's products and also to offer added value to our clients.

In 2012, we obtained the certification for the Environmental Management System. This system is certified according to the UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2015, also by TÜV Rheinland. GENEBRE QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
