A ballcock (also balltap or float valve) is a mechanism, or machine for filling water tanks, such as those found in flush toilets, while avoiding overflow. The modern ballcock was invented by Joseph Bramah and Thomas Twyford.
A valve which automatically opens or closes as the level of a liquid changes. The valve is operated mechanically by a float which rests on the top of the liquid.
A mechanism that regulates fluid level by using a float to control the filling of water in the water tank; used in swamp coolers to regulate water levels.
