Threaded Tapped Balls

Our threaded tapped balls are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the most common grade, as well as 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in harsher chemical or marine environments. Other materials are available upon request for specialized applications requiring different mechanical or chemical properties.

Yes, any thread specification can be tapped to order. Our team works directly with customers to machine custom threads, fittings, or hooks that match your existing measurement devices, valves, or mounting hardware, ensuring a precise fit for float valves, level sensors, and tank assemblies.

Yes, all float balls can be pressure tested using dedicated equipment to meet custom specifications before shipment. This ensures reliable performance in high-pressure environments such as vacuum tanks, steam traps, and industrial process control systems where consistent sealing and buoyancy are critical.

Threaded tapped 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 aesthetic requirements and the operating environment, such as food-grade or decorative applications.

Yes, custom magnets can be sourced and assembled inside float balls for precise level detection in systems requiring magnetic sensing. This magnet integration works alongside custom threads and fittings, making the balls suitable for complex liquid level measurement and control applications.

Round float balls range from 1-1/2" up to 14" in diameter, while oblong floats come in sizes such as 7 x 12", 7 x 16", 3 x 5", and 9 x 14", among others. Through-tube options are also available to fit 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" rods.
