Hardened Bearing-Quality 440C Stainless Steel
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
- Heat Treatment: Hardened
- Specifictions Met: See table
These balls are hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance. 440C is one of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating. It's often used for bearings and valves. This material maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 800° F.

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. All are for use with water.
Stainless steel floats have excellent corrosion resistance and are also for use with oil.
Cylindrical and rectangular floats are self-tapping, except 4" dia. floats have a threaded hose connection.

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.
