The valve that shuts off the water in a toilet cistern is known as the ball-cock. It is operated by a hollow ball attached to an arm, once the ball floats to a certain level, the valve shuts off the water. This action prevents water flowing out of the over-flow pipe to the outside. The ball and valve is known as the ball-cock.

What is an ogden pump?

An Ogden pump is a liquid pump powered by either steam or compressed air. Manufactured by Spirax Sarco, it is now an obsolete item, having been replaced by their MFP range. Often used on industrial sites for steam condensate recovery, it essential works on a ball float and valve principal. Condensate enters the receiver vessel where a ball cock type float is fitted. Once full, the ball cock opens the steam supply valve and the steam pressure forces the hot condensate out through the pumps delivery pipe. The ball cock then closes the steam supply valve and the process restarts.
