Floats for Chemicals
Made of polyethylene, these floats can be used with chemicals, salts, and caustic fluids.
Ball floats are self-tapping when used with a threaded rod.

Polypropylene Float Valves
Able to withstand higher temperatures than PVC float valves, these valves have a temperature range of 35° to 175° F. Use them to control water levels in processing tanks and cooling towers. Valves have an unthreaded discharge outlet, which releases contents into a tank.
Valves with compression inlet connections are for small-scale applications using tubing.

Compact Metal Float Valves
Smaller than other float valves, these are sized for containers with limited space. Use them to control water levels in processing tanks and cooling towers.
Valves with a discharge outlet release contents into your tank; the outlet is unthreaded.

Life Preserver Rings
Throw flotation rings into the water for emergency rescues. The rope that encircles them is made of polypropylene, so it also floats. These rings are United States Coast Guard Approved Type IV for buoyant throwable devices. Made of polyethylene, they resist oil and common chemicals. They are international safety orange with reflective panels to draw attention.
Cabinets have a clear, shatter-resistant plastic window, so you can see inside. The cabinets don’t lock for easy access, just pull the handle to open them.
Attach one end of a throw rope to life preserver rings, so you can retrieve them from the water after emergency rescues. The other end has a ball stop to secure the rope under your foot, preventing the entire rope from slipping into the water. Select a 60 ft. or 90 ft. throw rope based on the size of your vessel and to comply with applicable safety regulations.
Rings and rope that meet OSHA standards help you comply with safety regulations for shipyards and construction sites.
