Float Ball for Automatic Watering Systems

The Watts C12FLT is a copper float ball designed for use with automatic watering kits, stems and nozzle assemblies. It provides liquid-level control in tanks or reservoirs where a 12-inch diameter float is required. The unit is supplied new and ready for installation.

3/8 In.-16 Thread Size and 200 Degrees F Rating

The float features an internal connection with a 3/8 In.-16 thread size that must match the stem or valve assembly exactly. It is rated for a maximum liquid temperature of 200 Degrees F, making it suitable for hot-water applications up to that limit.

Installs on Matching Stem to Free Up Tank Space

The float screws onto a compatible stem or nozzle assembly using the 3/8 In.-16 thread, requiring no external brackets. Its 5.98 oz weight and 0.17 specific gravity keep it buoyant while leaving the tank interior clear for fluid capacity.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 in float diameter mean for water level control?

The 12 in diameter provides a large surface area so the float responds quickly to small changes in liquid level, giving precise on/off switching in automatic watering kits.

How does the 3/8-16 thread size limit the stems or valves I can connect?

Only stems, nozzles or valve assemblies with a matching 3/8 in.-16 internal thread will screw directly onto the float; other thread pitches or diameters require an adapter.

What clearance do I need to install the 12 in copper float ball?

You need at least 12 in of open tank diameter plus extra space for the stem and any connected valve assembly to move freely without hitting tank walls.
