Float Ball for Automatic Watering Kits

This plastic float ball is designed for use with automatic watering kits, stems and nozzle assemblies. It provides reliable liquid-level control in agricultural or horticultural irrigation systems. The component suits installers who need a standard replacement part for existing float-operated valves.

Simple Threaded Installation

The float ball connects via an internal 5/16-18 thread, allowing direct attachment to compatible valve stems without special tools. Ensure the mating threads are clean and undamaged to prevent cross-threading or leaks. Overtightening can crack the plastic body, so hand-tighten only until the seal seats firmly.

Stable Operation Up to 140 Degrees F

With a specific gravity of 0.11 and a weight of 0.65 oz, the float maintains consistent buoyancy during continuous liquid exposure. The material withstands sustained temperatures up to 140 degrees F without deformation. It is not suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits or fluids exceeding the rated temperature limit.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the float ball is operating correctly after installation?

The 6 in float should rise and fall smoothly with the liquid level and trigger the connected valve at the expected point.

What comes in the package and what extra parts are needed?

The box contains the plastic float ball only; stems, nozzle assemblies or automatic watering kits must be purchased separately.

Which thread size should I select for my existing stem?

Choose the 5/16-18 thread version to match stems and nozzle assemblies with that specification.
