What sizes do you keep in stock?

Round float balls from 1½″ up to 14″ in diameter, in both 304ss and 316ss, plus standard oblong floats from 2×6″ to 9×14″. Call and we will confirm stock on the call.

What's the difference between 304ss and 316ss?

304ss is the standard grade and suits water, HVAC and general industrial service. 316ss adds molybdenum, which greatly improves resistance to chlorides, salt water and aggressive chemicals — it is the usual choice for marine, chemical and sanitary applications.

Can you tap a non-standard thread?

Yes. NPT, UNC and metric are routine, and we regularly tap non-standard and legacy thread specs. Send the thread callout or a sample and we will match it.

Do you offer polished finishes?

Yes — mirror polish for sanitary and display work, and matte or brushed finishes for industrial service. Finish is specified per order.

Can you pressure-test the floats?

Yes. We have on-site pressure testing equipment and can test every float to your project's exact spec before it ships.

Where do you ship to?

Worldwide. We hold a large standing inventory of round and oblong floats, and most stock orders leave the same business day.
