Brass Float Rod for Valve Repair

This brass float rod measures 12 inches long with a 1/4-20 thread size and 1/4 inch rod diameter. It connects float balls to float valves in tank assemblies. The component suits maintenance on existing plumbing fixtures.

Replaces Worn or Bent Float Rods

Swap this rod when the original part corrodes, bends or strips its threads and prevents the valve from shutting off. The upgrade is worth it when the tank overfills or the float ball sits at the wrong height. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Threads Directly Into Compatible Float Valves

Installation requires matching 1/4-20 threads on the valve arm and float ball; no special tools are needed beyond a wrench. Mis-threaded starts and mismatched thread pitches are the most common issues. Verify the thread specification before fitting.

Questions about this item

What thread size and rod diameter does this 12-inch brass float rod use?

The rod has a 1/4 in -20 thread size and a 1/4 in rod diameter, matching standard float ball and valve connections.

How do I install this float rod, and what step is commonly missed?

Thread the rod into the float valve and ball by hand, then tighten with a wrench; the step often missed is checking that the rod moves freely without binding.

Will the brass material require any specific maintenance or replacement over time?

Brass resists corrosion in typical water conditions, but inspect periodically for mineral buildup or wear on the threads and replace if movement becomes restricted.
