Compact Float Valves for Food and Beverage


With 316 Stainless Steel Float	With Polypropylene Float

Smaller than other float valves, these are sized for containers with limited space. They meet NSF/ANSI Standard 169 for food-equipment components and have excellent corrosion resistance. The discharge outlet is unthreaded and releases contents into your tank.

Float Valve Bodies for Drinking Water

Safe for use in drinking water systems, these float valve bodies meet NSF/ANSI 61 standards. Combine them with rods and floats to create custom float valves. They’re made of PVC, so they’re a lightweight alternative to metal valve bodies. With a nonrotating plunger, they maintain a tight seal even in turbulent water, such as in mixing tanks and tanks with boiling water.

Flow-Adjustment Lever—Float valve bodies with a flow-adjustment lever have two flow setpoints, so you can adapt the flow rate to match system requirements.

Compact Float Valves with Plastic Reservoir for Food and Beverage


With Top Inlet	With Side Inlet

Commonly used in ice-making machines, these valves have floats that rest inside a clear plastic reservoir. They meet NSF/ANSI 169 standards for food equipment components. Polypropylene floats are FDA compliant for direct food contact. The discharge outlet is unthreaded and releases contents into your tank. The drain holes are located on the bottom for connecting to soft tubing (not included).
