Vanguard VF5 Push Button Float 1-1/4 Inch 3 Pack

Product Description

The VANGUARD VF5 is a push-button plastic float designed for use in float valve assemblies found in plumbing, HVAC condensate, and water-level control applications. The push-button actuator mechanism allows for quick attachment and adjustment without additional tools, making it a practical choice for plumbers and service technicians working on float valve systems. The VF5 is sold in a 3-pack, offering an economical supply for service calls or routine replacements. Each float is sized at 1-1/4 inches, suited for standard residential and light commercial float valve fittings.

This float is used in pump tanks, toilet fill valve assemblies, condensate overflow systems, and similar water-level management installations where a reliable, buoyant float actuator is required. Its plastic construction resists corrosion, making it appropriate for both freshwater and treated-water environments. The 3-pack format is especially useful for contractors stocking service vans or completing multiple valve repairs in a single visit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician in accordance with applicable IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing the existing float or servicing the valve assembly. Verify float size and actuator type match the existing valve before installation. Do not overtighten or force the push-button connection, as plastic components may crack under excessive pressure.
