This model features a 4.1/2-inch cylindrical diameter.
While the plastic construction is durable, ensure the material is compatible with your specific chemical requirements, as salt water can vary in corrosiveness.
Most standard float valves use universal attachment points. Ensure that the 4.1/2-inch size allows for free vertical movement within your specific tank dimensions.
No, this listing is for the plastic float component only.
Inspect the surface for cracks or holes. If the plastic is compromised, the float will need to be replaced as it can no longer maintain buoyancy.
Check if the float has become waterlogged or if it is stuck on the side of the tank, preventing the valve from closing.
Adjust the float arm position to change the angle at which the valve closes.
To install, ensure the float is securely threaded or clamped onto the existing float arm of your valve assembly. Verify that the 4.1/2-inch diameter provides enough clearance within the tank to move vertically without obstruction. Compatibility is generally high for standard float valves, but always check your existing arm length. For maintenance, periodically inspect the float for surface debris or bio-film buildup. If the float becomes heavy or begins to sink, check for small fractures or holes that might allow water intrusion. Wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap if cleaning is required.
