Kerick Valve PF06 Polyethylene Sphere Float Ball, 6" Diameter, 6" Length, 1/4" Female Thread,Black

Float works well it is the second one I’ve purchased. It is a standby just in case I ever need one in the future. The original one I put on is on its third year no problems..

My old commode needed repair. The existing tank ball was rather small. When the ball lifted the shut-off lever, the lever often did not close completely, perhaps due to corrosion. I would have to take the lid off the commode tank and lift the lever to get the water to stop its internal leak and wasting of water. So I decided to buy this 6 inch diameter ball, which cured the problem. The existing tank ball was only about 4 inches in diameter. The 6 inch ball has much more buoyancy power & lifts the shut-off arm with more force. So now my commode no longer has the internal leak. The water shuts off all the way. Note that this 6 inch ball will probably not fit inside a modern toilet commode water tank (too big). But I have an old model commode with a bigger tank, & this 6 inch ball does fit, just barely. I wish someone made a 5 1/2 inch diameter ball. They do sell a square/ rectangular solid shaped ball which would probably fit and give extra buoyancy power also. This 6 inch ball also crowds the inside of the tank and causes me to use less water when I flush the commode; it prevents all the water from flowing out the flapper hole in the bottom of the tank also, which means there is always a little down pressure on the flapper to prevent it also from leaking.

I used it with this Mueller Industries 109-814 Float Valves, 0.75 Inch that I bought off amazon as well. instead of connecting them together with a single shaft, I used eyelets and a piece of rope to secure the two pieces together so that the cows wouldn't bend or break the rod or valve when they played with the float. because we all know they will. I'm not sure which was worse. those darn cows or the Horses trying to kick it. needless to say the rope idea really saved us from having to purchase more parts. I will say though. you need a heavy weight on the swing arm in order for the valve listed above to work correctly..

It’s a float. I returned it without using it, but it looks fine.

good quality

This worked great with the Kerick valve I also bought. I could have used a smaller sphere though. I only have about 40 pounds pressure. This valve probably would also work well at 100 pounds pressure.

Good quality material, not the cheap, thin, easy to crack stuff

Used this float for a 2" water float valve. This float ball worked great for a tough job in a tougher environment

Unfortunately this item was too big for our tank and was returned. It arrived on time and as pictured and we would have been glad to use it had it fit.

Great

lamentablemente la única opción que encuentras en Mexico, son productos de mala calidad como Rotoplas. lo reemplace un par de veces pero me canse de que el agua terminara metiéndose al flotador . este flotador de importación Kerick viene bien sellado, por lo que espero que no falle.
