Ball Float Valves for Reliable Shut-Off

Adjusting a ball float valve typically involves repositioning the float arm or adjusting the rod length to change the point at which the valve opens or closes. On custom systems, thread fittings and through-tube connections can be modified to fine-tune sensitivity and shut-off level. Consult your system specifications or contact our technical support team for guidance.

A float valve automatically regulates liquid levels within a tank or system by opening and closing in response to the buoyancy of a float. It prevents overflow and maintains target fill levels without manual intervention. Float valves are widely used in industrial tanks, sump pumps, vacuum systems, steam traps, and food processing vats.

Our float balls are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, which is the most common option, and 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Other materials can be sourced upon request. Both grades are suitable for demanding industrial, food processing, chemical, and wastewater environments.

Yes. We can tap any thread specification to match your system requirements. Common options include 1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/4 NPT, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, 5/8-11 UNC, and 3/4 NPT. Through tubes and custom fittings are also available, and our team can consult on configurations to ensure compatibility with your application.

Yes, all our float balls can be pressure tested to meet custom specifications. We have pressure testing equipment on-site to verify that each float ball performs reliably under the specific pressure requirements of your application, including high-pressure industrial systems, vacuum tanks, and steam trap environments.

Our stainless steel float balls are available in three finishes: matte (unfinished with a visible weld ring), brushed (polished smooth weld seam), and fully polished mirror finish. The finish choice depends on your application's hygiene requirements, aesthetic preferences, or system compatibility, such as food-grade or corrosive environments.
