Could someone please post some pictures of a float box or direct me to some existing ones somewhere? Specifically, I am looking for some that detail the mechanism within. I need to make one and don't want to reinvent the wheel. Any help and suggestions would be great! Thanks.
Jim

if you just need the mechanism for a float box, go to a plumbing supply house and get a float valve. mine cost like 30 bucks with the float. no fuss no muss 5 minutes to install and I was boiling..

Jim Go to Grainger.com and look up float valves. They have some that are 1/2 NPT that will mount real quick. The floats are copper and are 4 1/2" in diameter so they dont take up much room.
