Watts C6-3 Float Ball Copper 6 in

The Watts C6-3 is a copper float ball designed for automatic watering kits, stems and nozzle assemblies. It provides reliable liquid level control in compatible systems. This component suits maintenance professionals and facility managers replacing or specifying float mechanisms. Buyers needing plastic or stainless steel floats should verify material compatibility before purchase.

Thermals noise and power draw

The float operates passively with a maximum liquid temperature rating of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Its copper construction and specific gravity of 0.13 ensure consistent buoyancy without external power. No moving parts generate noise or vibration during normal tank operation. The unit draws zero electrical power and adds negligible thermal load to the system.

Build integration

The float features an internal connection with a 3/8 inch -16 thread size for direct attachment to compatible stems. A 6 inch diameter and 6 inch length define the envelope required inside the tank or reservoir. Weighing 1.1 ounces, it imposes minimal stress on mounting hardware. Installers must confirm stem thread match and clearance for the spherical profile.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3/8 in. -16 thread stem and what step is commonly missed?

Screw the stem into the internal copper threads until seated; the step often missed is confirming the float arm moves freely through its full range without binding after tightening.

What maintenance or replacement will the copper float ball need over time?

Inspect the copper sphere periodically for dents, corrosion or water ingress that would change its 0.13 specific gravity; replace the float if the ball no longer rises reliably or shows visible damage.

What is the first limit reached during sustained high-temperature use?

The maximum liquid temperature of 200 degrees F is the primary limit; operating above this point can deform the copper float and alter its buoyancy.
