FLUID LEVEL SENSING ASSEMBLY FOR MOTORISED VALVE
A fluid level sensor assembly comprising a first pipe component (30) defining a flow path for the fluid and configured to be attached to a valve (1) to control flow of the fluid from the first pipe component, and a fluid level sensor (2) arranged in or on the first pipe component to detect a level of fluid in the first pipe component and to generate a command signal for operation of the valve according to the level detected, and an insert (50) fitted to an end of the first pipe component and extending axially from the end to be fitted to an inlet of the valve, in use, wherein the insert is configured to secure the first pipe component against rotation relative to the valve inlet when the insert is fitted to the inlet. In another aspect, the first pipe component is a wye fitting (30) defining a first branch (31) that defines the fluid path and a second branch (32) in which the sensor (2) is located, and the wye-fitting is provided with a nozzle (60) to direct fluid from an inlet end to the branch in which the sensor is located, the nozzle having a first opening (61) at the inlet end and a second, smaller opening (62) at an outlet end directed to the sensor to clean the sensor.
