Danco Company 88647 Adjustable Toilet Float Rod

Product Description

The DANCO COMPANY 88647 is an adjustable toilet float rod designed for use in standard ballcock-style toilet fill valve assemblies. Constructed from brass-plated steel, this rod connects the float ball to the ballcock valve and controls the water shutoff level inside the toilet tank. The adjustable length spans 10 to 12.5 inches, allowing the technician or installer to fine-tune the float position for proper fill height. Extra-long threads on the rod ends provide secure engagement with both the float ball and the valve arm. This part is a direct replacement component for plumbers and maintenance professionals servicing older ballcock-equipped toilet tanks.

The 88647 is suited for residential and light commercial toilet repair applications where the existing float rod is corroded, bent, or stripped at the threads. It fits standard ballcock assemblies that accept a threaded float rod connection. The adjustable range makes it compatible with a variety of tank sizes where the float position needs to be set higher or lower to correct running or incomplete fill cycles. Plumbers, maintenance techs, and experienced DIYers typically carry this part for routine toilet repair service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a plumber or qualified maintenance technician. Before servicing the toilet tank, shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve below the tank and flush to drain the tank. Remove the old float rod by unthreading it from the ballcock valve arm and the float ball, then thread the 88647 into place and adjust the rod length to set the correct float height. After reinstalling, restore water supply and verify the fill valve shuts off at the proper water level per the tank manufacturer's mark.
