Liquid Floats

A water float is a buoyant device, typically a sealed ball or oblong shape, used to detect and control liquid levels in tanks, sumps, or chambers. As water rises or falls, the float moves with it, triggering valves, switches, or magnetic sensors to regulate pump activation, shutoff, or level measurement in various industrial systems.

Our liquid floats are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the most common choice for general industrial use, and 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in chemical or wastewater environments. Both materials offer durability, hygienic surfaces, and long service life compared to plastic alternatives.

Yes. We offer custom threads (such as 1/4-20, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, 3/4 NPT), through tubes for rod-guided applications, and specialized fittings to match your existing float valve, sump pump, or level measurement system exactly, ensuring a seamless fit without modifying your existing equipment.

Yes, we manufacture float balls with custom-integrated magnets, sourced and assembled inside the stainless steel shell, for precise level detection in magnetic reed switch systems, vacuum tanks, and other automated liquid monitoring applications where non-contact sensing is required.

All floats can be pressure-tested to meet your specific operating conditions before shipment. This ensures reliable, leak-free performance in high-pressure industrial environments such as steam traps, vacuum tanks, and chemical processing systems where float integrity is critical to safe operation.

Stainless steel liquid floats are widely used in food processing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, vacuum tank operations, sump pump systems, and steam trap applications, as well as decorative uses like flag pole balls and custom art projects requiring durable, weather-resistant spheres.
