ABSTRACT:
A horizontal water inlet tube is inwardly connected reversely through a valve within a horizontal valve housing and from the valve housing downwardly into a generally vertical water outlet tube. The valve is controlled by a valve control arm projecting generally horizontally from the valve housing downwardly connected through a float connector to a float vertically slideable on a float guide extending downwardly from the valve housing. A diverter at the upper end of the water outlet tube receives water flow generally horizontally from the valve housing into a pair of spaced, downward helical grooves directing the flow spirally into a pair of spaced vertical grooves for ultimate discharge downwardly through the water outlet tube. The diverter vertical grooves are larger in cross-section than the respective helical grooves and are formed by radial plates converging centrally to a cylinder at groove upper portions and an inverted cone at groove lower portions, each vertical groove occupying in the order of 120.degree. of the outlet tube circumference. For shipment, the float guide may be pivoted upwardly at its connection to the valve housing simultaneously carrying the float and float connector without disrupting assembly placing these elements approaching horizontally parallel to the inlet tube, valve housing and valve control arm. The outlet tube is selectively disconnectable adjacent the valve housing for positioning thereof generally horizontal.
