Oblong & Oval Stainless Steel Floats

Available oblong sizes include examples such as 7 x 12" with 3/4" NPT, 7 x 16" with 3/4" NPT, 2 x 6" with 1/4-20, 3 x 5" with 1/4-20, 3-1/2 x 12" with 1/4-20, and 9 x 14" with 3/4" NPT. Inventory is regularly expanded, and custom dimensions can be discussed for specific applications.

Most floats are commonly manufactured from 304 stainless steel, with 316 stainless steel also available for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance. Other materials may be considered when required by the system. Material choice should reflect the liquid, pressure, temperature, and operating environment so the float performs reliably over time.

Yes. Stainless Steel Float Ball Company stocks many sizes with threads, through tubes, and other fittings, and can customize floats to meet your specifications. Common options include NPT connections, UNC threads, through tubes for rods, hooks, and other assemblies used in float valves, measurement devices, vacuum tanks, and similar systems.

Finishing options include matte, brushed, and fully polished stainless steel. Matte floats have the regular unfinished stainless appearance and may show a weld ring. Brushed floats have the weld seam polished smooth without a mirror finish. Fully polished floats provide a reflective mirror appearance for applications where aesthetics matter.

Yes. The company has equipment available to pressure test floats and can test to customer specifications when a higher-than-normal pressure requirement is needed. Pressure testing helps confirm that the float is suitable for demanding systems where leakage, deformation, or premature failure could affect operation.

Magnets can be sourced and installed inside float balls when the application requires magnetic functionality. This is often used for precise liquid level detection or more complex control systems. The team has developed techniques for installing magnets inside floats and can work with magnet specifications that match your system requirements.

Oblong and oval stainless steel floats are used in liquid-based systems, float valves, vacuum tanks, sump pumps, liquid level measurement devices, steam traps, and custom equipment. Stainless construction makes them suitable for many industrial environments, including food processing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater management, and other operations where durable floating components are needed.

Large inventory and direct shipping help support timely delivery, while tailored supply programs can be designed to reduce inventory or freight costs. Pricing is described as competitive, and final cost is usually shaped by size, stainless grade, finish, fittings, magnets, pressure testing, and order quantity. Providing specifications upfront helps speed the quoting process.
