Bk 109-852 Brass Float Rod 12 Inches

Product Description

The BK 109-852 is a 12-inch brass float rod with 1/4-20 threaded ends, designed for use in float valve assemblies found in water storage tanks, toilet fill valves, and similar plumbing applications. The threaded ends allow secure connection to float balls and valve arms without additional hardware modification. At 0.126 pounds, the rod is lightweight and easy to handle during service calls. Plumbers and plumbing maintenance techs install this rod as a direct replacement when the existing float rod is corroded, bent, or broken, restoring proper water level control in the assembly.

This float rod suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a standard 12-inch length is required. It is appropriate for use in ballcock-style fill valve assemblies in toilet tanks, livestock and agricultural water troughs, and gravity-fed storage tank float controls. The 1/4-20 thread pattern is a common standard for float valve hardware, making this rod a widely applicable replacement component for service and repair work.

Key Features

• 12-inch length suits standard float valve assemblies
• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet service environments
• 1/4-20 threaded ends for secure connection to float balls and valve arms
• Lightweight at 0.126 pounds for easy single-hand installation
• Sold individually for straightforward single-unit replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement float rod for standard ballcock and float valve assemblies that accept a 12-inch, 1/4-20 threaded brass rod.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician should shut off the water supply and flush the tank or drain the vessel before replacing the float rod. Standard hand tools are sufficient for threading the rod into the float ball and valve arm. Inspect the float ball and valve seat for wear while the assembly is accessible, and verify the float arm angle is correctly adjusted after installation to maintain proper water level cutoff.
