Small Floating Ball

Product Overview

The SL-ABS small floating ball is a compact white plastic automatic water level valve designed for smaller poultry tanks, cups and reservoirs. The valve body mounts through a threaded tank port, a short arm reaches down to a small cylindrical buoy, and the blue seal ring on the valve body helps confirm a tight wall connection. The buoy rises and falls with the water level, opening the inlet when water drops and closing it when the set height is reached.

The whole unit stands about 21 cm tall, and the small buoy measures 5 cm across, weighing 52 g per piece. The export packing holds 300 pieces per box, making it economical for farms that equip many small tanks or drinker bowls. Its compact size fits tight spaces inside small reservoirs where a large float would not fit.

Key Features and Benefits

• Compact 21 cm Size - the short arm and small buoy fit tight tanks and small reservoirs where larger floats cannot be installed.
• 5 cm Cylindrical Buoy - the sealed float provides enough leverage for small-tank level control without taking extra space.
• Blue Seal Ring - the visible ring on the valve body shows where the seal sits and helps achieve a leak-free wall connection.
• Threaded Tank Mount - the body screws into standard wall ports for quick installation on new and existing tanks.
• All-White Plastic Build - the drinking-water-friendly material stays stable under normal farm water additives.
• 300 Pieces Per Box - bulk carton packing supports projects equipping many small tanks at once.

Materials and Quality

The valve body, arm and buoy are molded from white engineering plastic rated for drinking-water contact. The buoy shell is sealed airtight so it stays buoyant over years of immersion, and the internal inlet seal closes against the seat as the float rises. The blue sealing ring adds a visible, reliable gasket at the tank wall.

Each valve is tested for buoy sealing and inlet shut-off before packing, and finished pieces are visually sorted for color and molding completeness. The arm hinge is sampled for repeated open-close cycles, so the valve keeps its set level through long service.

The compact body uses the same drinking-water plastic as the larger model, scaled down for small tanks. The blue gasket gives a visible, reliable seal at the wall.

The small 21 cm reach suits compact reservoirs where a long-arm float would touch the tank bottom, and the 300-piece cartons are counted at the pack house so small projects receive accurate stock.

How to Use and Maintain

Screw the valve body into the tank wall port, checking that the blue seal ring sits flat against the wall, then adjust the arm until the small buoy floats at the desired level. Open the water supply slowly and confirm the valve shuts off at the set point.

Flush the tank and valve at each cleaning cycle, and make sure the small buoy hangs freely without touching the tank bottom or walls. If the valve drips, clean the seat of debris and check the seal ring; replace the valve if dripping continues after cleaning.

Check that the blue ring sits flat against the wall before tightening, since a pinched or twisted ring causes leaks around the port.

Rinse the small buoy at each tank wash, because its compact size makes it easy to overlook. Keep spares on site for fast swap-out before the next flock.

Applications

This small float suits compact poultry water tanks, drinker bowls and small reservoirs where space is limited. It is a practical choice for brooder rooms, breeding stations and small farm water circuits.

It also serves as a replacement float for existing small tanks on layer and broiler farms, and distributors stock it as a fast-moving spare. It combines with nipples, cups and pipes in mixed export orders for poultry equipment buyers.
