Watts 0780326 Plastic Float
The Watts 0780326, also identified as the P6 Plastic Float, is a heavy-duty 6-inch component engineered for precise liquid level management in demanding mechanical systems. Constructed from high-density, injection-molded polyethylene, this replacement float ball is specifically designed for high-performance Watts FLT-P series float valve assemblies. It features a 1/4-20 inch female thread connection, providing a secure interface for standard float rods in diverse configurations like cooling towers, pressure washers, and industrial refrigeration units. Its non-electrolytic build ensures the unit remains corrosion resistant even when exposed to salts, caustic fluids, or harsh chemical environments common in HVACR and agricultural applications. With a maximum operating temperature of 140°F and inherent resistance to UV radiation and sunlight deterioration, the 0780326 plastic float maintains structural integrity and buoyancy over extended service cycles. This part is a direct technical match for model 780326 and P-6, offering field-proven reliability for professional contractors maintaining fluid make-up systems.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Corrosion-Proof Polyethylene: The injection-molded body is inert to caustic chemicals and salts, preventing the pitting and failure common in metal alternatives.
- UV and Sunlight Resistance: Designed for outdoor livestock tanks and rooftop cooling towers without degrading from solar exposure.
- Universal 1/4-20 Threading: Ensures seamless compatibility with standard float valve repair kits and rod assemblies.
- High Buoyancy 6-Inch Diameter: Provides the necessary upward force to shut off high-pressure makeup water valves reliably.
- Thermal Stability: Rated for consistent performance in temperatures up to 140°F, ideal for heat transfer and process water systems.
What is the thread size for the Watts 0780326?
This float features a standard 1/4-20 inch female threaded connection, which is the industry standard for most small to medium-sized commercial float valves.
Can the P6 float be used in saltwater applications?
Yes. Because it is made of non-electrolytic polyethylene, it is unaffected by salt and many caustic fluids that would typically corrode stainless steel or copper floats.
Is this part interchangeable with the 780326?
Yes, the 0780326 is the current manufacturer part number and is identical in form, fit, and function to the 780326 and P-6 models.
