ball cock
A ball cock is a mechanism or device typically used in plumbing systems to control or regulate the flow of liquid within a container, such as a tank or a cistern. The device operates through a float – often ball-shaped – which is connected to a valve. When the water level lowers, the float drops down, opening the valve to allow in more water. As the level increases, the float rises and closes the valve, stopping the flow. This mechanism is commonly found in toilet cisterns and livestock water troughs.
