float type shut-off

Dutch translation: Vlotterafsluiter

English to Dutch translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care
English term or phrase: float type shut-off
Context:

"The suction bottle assembly with a float type shut-off and overflow safety trap are designed to prevent fluids from entering the vacuum regulator or central suction system"

Zie ook bijv. http://www.ohiomedical.com/sectionDisplay.aspx?cat_id=1 (het gaat waarschijnlijk om dit soort vacuümregelaars).

Dutch translation:Vlotterafsluiter
Explanation:
According to the context and the described system it shuts-off liquid that can run into the suction bottle. It is a very complicated description of a simple device - the float valve.

By the way, the whole part of "float type shut-off and overflow safety trap" can be simply replaced by "vlotterafsluiter". But if I look at the kind of client it's perhaps recommended to keep this part a little bit fancy. If I put "overflow safety trap" in Google Search, Ohio Medical pops up as number 1, it looks like they have a patented system. Het lijkt erop dat het systeem ook afsluit bij (te) hoge stroomsnelheid. Dat is meer dan alleen maar een vlottersfluiter.
