The Thomas Dudley Plastic Float is an essential component for DIY enthusiasts and professionals maintaining water systems, including ponds, pools, and storage tanks. It offers a reliable and cost-effective buoyancy solution for 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch BSP float valves. While it provides excellent durability and ease of installation, users should ensure the float remains clear of debris to maintain optimal buoyancy performance in outdoor environments.

This float features a standard 5/16-inch thread.
The float is designed for general water applications; however, long-term exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme saline conditions is not recommended.
No, this float is specifically designed for 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch BSP float valves.
The red color helps with high visibility, making it easier to locate the float inside opaque tanks or murky pond water.
If the float is punctured, it will fill with water and lose buoyancy. It should be replaced immediately to ensure the valve continues to function correctly.
Check if the float has taken on water through a crack or puncture and adjust the valve arm height if necessary.
Verify there is no excessive algae or debris accumulation on the surface of the float that is weighing it down.
Check that the 5/16-inch thread is fully engaged and the plastic lug is not stripped.
To install, ensure your valve arm has a 5/16-inch thread to match the float. Simply screw the float onto the end of the valve arm until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten, as this may strip the plastic threads.
Compatibility: This unit is specifically compatible with valves accepting 5/16-inch threads and is intended for use with 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch BSP systems.
Care: Regularly inspect the float for surface debris, algae growth, or calcium build-up, which can add unnecessary weight and cause the valve to stick. Clean periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure the float is free from punctures or cracks, as water ingress will cause the float to lose buoyancy.
