Often found in tanks that are frequently washed down, these float valve bodies are 316 stainless steel, so they resist corroding from harsh cleaners. To create custom float valves, combine these valve bodies with floats and rods. Thread them onto pipe to direct water to a specific location. They’re frequently used to send water to the bottom of a tank to limit splashing and disruptions at the surface level. When the valve opens and closes, the plunger rotates freely. This means the internal seal wears evenly, extending the life of the valve body.

Valve bodies with a Teflon® PTFE seal withstand higher temperatures than those with a Viton® fluoroelastomer seal.
