Float Balls

• Heavy-duty polypropylene construction resists cracking
• Foam-filled for structural rigidity and additional buoyancy
• Available in many sizes and configurations to assure positive shutoff

A float ball may seem to be a simple item, but the float balls available from BAC are engineered specifically for cooling tower duty. Many different sizes and styles are available to best fit the float valve arrangement in your tower. They are manufactured from thick polypropylene to resist cracking and are foam-filled for structural rigidity as well as additional buoyancy.

BAC Caution Tip

Many commercially available float balls are hollow, with no foam filling, and are not suitable for the rigors of evaporative cooling equipment. While operating, the inside of your equipment can resemble a hurricane, with high winds, and extreme temperature swings. Without the added structural rigidity from the foam filling, the float ball may easily crack, allowing the float to fill with water, which will cause the system to run improperly.

4-1/2" to 8" diameter and 10" pancake style for all applications.
