Magnetic Float Valves

The three common types of float valves are: ball-cock float valves (used in cisterns and tanks), inline float valves (used to control flow in pipelines), and magnetic float valves (which use an embedded magnet to trigger electronic switches for automated level control in industrial systems).

Float valves are used to automatically control liquid levels in tanks, chambers, and process vessels. They open or close based on the position of a buoyant float, regulating inflow or outflow. Applications include sump pumps, vacuum tanks, steam traps, food processing vats, wastewater treatment tanks, and chemical storage systems.

A vertical magnetic float is an oblong or cylindrical float fitted with an internal magnet, designed to travel vertically along a guide rod or through tube. As the liquid level changes, the float's vertical movement triggers magnetic sensors or reed switches at specific heights, enabling precise automated level detection and control.

Our magnetic float valves are constructed from 304 stainless steel (the most common grade) and 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Both grades are suitable for aggressive environments including chemical manufacturing, food processing, and wastewater treatment. Other materials are available upon request for specialized applications.

Yes. We offer fully customizable float balls in round and oblong shapes with a wide range of thread specifications including 1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/4 NPT, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, 5/8-11 UNC, and 3/4 NPT. Custom through tubes, fittings, and magnet assemblies are also available to match your exact system requirements.

Yes. We have the equipment and capability to pressure-test all float balls to custom specifications before shipment. This ensures each unit meets your system's pressure and reliability requirements, making them suitable for high-pressure industrial environments such as steam traps, vacuum tanks, and chemical processing systems.
