Oatey PP99061 Tank Float Ball Plastic 4x5 in

Product Description

The OATEY PP99061 is a black plastic tank float ball designed for use in toilet fill valve assemblies and similar float-actuated plumbing mechanisms. The float ball rises and falls with water level, signaling the fill valve to open or close the water supply. At 4 inches tall by 5 inches wide, it offers reliable buoyancy for standard residential toilet tanks. Its plastic construction resists corrosion and mineral buildup common in potable water environments. Plumbers and plumbing maintenance technicians install this part as a direct replacement when the original float ball becomes waterlogged, cracked, or otherwise fails to hold its buoyancy.

This float ball is suited for residential toilet tank applications where a traditional ball-and-arm fill valve assembly is in use. It is a common service part for older toilet tank configurations that have not been retrofitted with a modern ballcock or fill valve assembly. The 4-inch by 5-inch size fits standard residential float arm connections found in many conventional toilet tanks.

Key Features

• Black plastic construction resists corrosion and mineral deposits
• 4 inches height by 5 inches width provides reliable buoyancy in standard tank volumes
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds for easy handling and proper float arm operation
• OEM-style replacement geometry for conventional ball-and-arm fill valve assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement float ball for residential toilet tanks equipped with traditional ball-and-arm fill valve assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified plumbing technician. Shut off the toilet supply stop valve and flush the tank to drain water before beginning service. Thread the float ball onto the existing float arm by hand, ensuring a secure connection with no cross-threading. Restore water supply and verify that the fill valve shuts off at the correct water level per the tank manufacturer's mark.
