Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Balls
- Color: White
- Max. Temperature: 500° F
- Tensile Strength: See Table (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Durometer 50D-65D (Medium Soft)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Offering a nonstick, slippery surface, these PTFE balls are often used as bearings and in ball valves. They offer superior chemical resistance and perform well in extreme temperatures. These balls are also excellent electrical insulators.

Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Balls
Use these polyurethane balls as seals in pumps and check valves or let them bounce inside of vibrating sifters for an effective screen cleaner. They are made of polyurethane, which combines the shock absorbing qualities of rubber with the strength of plastic.
Balls with a steel core are heavier than standard balls, so they’re often used to offset buoyancy or to reach a specific weight.

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.
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.
