1 1/4" Float Valves

Our float valves are built from 304 or 316 stainless steel float balls, chosen for corrosion resistance and durability. 316 stainless steel is preferred for corrosive or chemical environments, while 304 stainless steel suits general industrial and food processing use. Both materials withstand high-pressure conditions and repeated liquid exposure without degrading.

Yes, float valves can be tapped with virtually any thread specification, including 1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/4 NPT, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, and 3/4 NPT. Custom fittings, through tubes, and hooks are also available to integrate directly with your existing measurement devices, pumps, or control systems.

Yes, float balls can be manufactured with custom magnets installed inside the shell for precise, contact-based level detection. This magnetic integration is ideal for systems requiring non-invasive sensing, such as sump pumps, vacuum tanks, and automated liquid level control setups in industrial and chemical processing environments.

Round float balls provide balanced buoyancy for general liquid level applications, while oblong or oval floats offer increased surface area and stability in tanks with turbulence or limited vertical clearance. Both shapes are available in matching sizes with threads, fittings, or through tubes to fit your float valve assembly.

Each float valve component undergoes pressure testing using specialized equipment to confirm it meets custom specifications for high-pressure environments. This ensures the float ball maintains its seal integrity and buoyancy under operating pressures found in steam traps, vacuum tanks, and industrial process systems.

Yes, we ship directly to customers worldwide, with a large inventory of common float ball sizes ready for fast turnaround. Custom orders, including unique thread specifications, sizes, or magnet integrations, are also available and shipped directly from our facility for reliable global delivery.
