Float Valve Receiver for Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box

This float valve receiver is part of the float valve assembly that controls water levels in the Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box, a revolutionary non-electric grow system developed by the Health Ranger.

All 3D parts are downloadable from FoodRising.org which also includes assembly instructions and DIY videos.

This object requires a hole of 15mm in diameter for mounting, and it mounts to the side wall of the grow container, approximately 2-1/2" above the bottom of the container. The complete float valve also requires the printing of the Float Valve Adapter and the Retention Nut.
