Watts 0780329 Copper Float

The Watts 0780329, also designated as the C5, is a 5-inch heavy-duty copper float engineered for industrial water level control. This component is built from high-grade copper with firmly bonded overlapping joints, providing the structural integrity required for high-cycle applications in cooling towers, refrigeration units, and heat transfer systems. As a veteran-grade float valve replacement, it features a 1/4-20 female thread connection, allowing for direct mounting to standard float rods and stems. Designed to withstand demanding mechanical environments, the 0780329 maintains buoyancy and responsiveness in high-temperature media up to 200°F. Whether you are servicing a pressure washer make-up tank or a commercial livestock watering system, this industrial copper float ensures precise fluid management and system reliability. Its robust construction is a direct countermeasure against the weld-fatigue and corrosion often seen in lighter-duty alternatives.

• High-Temperature Resilience: Sustains reliable operation in fluid temperatures reaching up to 200°F.
• Reinforced Seams: Overlapping joints are firmly bonded to prevent leakage and buoyancy loss in pressurized assemblies.
• Universal Mounting: Standard 1/4-20 TPI female threading ensures seamless compatibility with most heavy-duty float valves.
• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade copper construction offers superior longevity compared to plastic or thin-walled metal floats in HVACR applications.

Is the Watts 0780329 compatible with my existing C5 float valve?
Yes, the 0780329 is the manufacturer-specified identical replacement for the C5 copper float, maintaining the same dimensions and thread specifications.

Can this float be used in potable water systems?
While copper is a standard material, this specific heavy-duty float is primarily utilized in industrial control assemblies, cooling towers, and agricultural tanks. Always verify local plumbing codes regarding lead-free requirements for your specific potable water application.

What is the thread size for the float rod attachment?
This unit features a precision-tapped 1/4-20 female thread, designed for secure attachment to heavy-duty float rods.
