Floats for Threaded Rods
Connect these floats to threaded float rods (not included). Use them to replace an existing float or combine with rods and float valve bodies (not included) to build a float valve.
Polypropylene floats are lightweight and meet NSF/ANSI 61 standards for safe use with drinking water.
Stainless steel floats have excellent corrosion resistance and are also for use with oil.

Through-Hole Floats
The through-hole connection allows these floats to slide up and down a vertical float rod (not included). Use clamps (not included) to set them in a fixed position.
Stainless steel floats are more corrosion resistant than copper floats.

Floats without Connections
These floats are untethered by a float rod so they can float freely in your tank.
316 stainless steel floats are more corrosion resistant than 304 stainless steel floats.
