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.

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 plastic 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).

Float Valve Bodies for Drinking Water

90° Elbow

90° Elbow with Flow-Adjustment Lever

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.

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