RDF-2205 / 2206 / 3500 series

Small floats and stems

Foamed polypropylene floats and the tube, stops and end caps that go with them. Magnet options are round or ring, and every float can be molded to your density.

Floats

RDF-2205

Foamed float, 3/4 in

Foamed polypropylene float. Available with two 1/8 inch diameter magnets or a ring magnet.

  • Size3/4 in dia x 1 in
  • MaterialFoamed PP
  • MagnetTwo 1/8 in, or ring
  • Specific gravity0.9 and higher

RDF-2206

Foamed float, 1 in

The larger foamed polypropylene float, with the same magnet options and a lower minimum density.

  • Size1 in dia x 1 in
  • MaterialFoamed PP
  • MagnetTwo 1/8 in, or ring
  • Specific gravity0.6 and higher

RDF-3500

Closed end tube

Closed end polypropylene tube. Also available with overmolded fittings.

  • Inside dia1/4 in
  • Outside dia5/16 in
  • Length6 in
  • OptionOvermolded fittings

RDF-3502

Intermediate float stop

Sets the travel limit part way along the tube for a multi level assembly.

  • Fits5/16 in tube

RDF-3601

End cap and float stop

Closes the end of the tube and stops the float in one part.

  • Fits5/16 in tube

RDF-3503

Slosh shield

Damps surface movement so the float reads the true level rather than the wave on top of it.

  • Fits1 1/4 in PVC pipe
  • And5/16 in tube fittings

Float comparison

Foamed polypropylene floats
Part Diameter Length Magnet Specific gravity
RDF-2205 3/4 in 1 in Two 1/8 in dia, or ring 0.9 and higher
RDF-2206 1 in 1 in Two 1/8 in dia, or ring 0.6 and higher

Diesel and fuel oil

All floats are available in nylon for diesel and fuel oil applications, where polypropylene is the wrong material for the service.

Specific gravity figures are minimums. Floats can be molded to any density above the minimum, so if you need a specific number, send it over with the fluid.
