NAUGATUCK

NAUGATUCK is a manufacturer of industrial float balls and level-sensing components, with a product line centered on stainless steel and copper floats used in liquid-level control applications. The brand supplies threaded floats with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) or machine-thread connections, as well as through-tube (tubed) float balls, covering a range of thread sizes from 1/4 in to 1/2 in and connection locations that are either external or internal. These components are typically employed in tanks, reservoirs, and process vessels where reliable buoyancy and corrosion resistance are required. Stainless steel variants (e.g., grades 304 or 316, implied by material specifications) offer durability in aggressive environments, while copper floats are suited for applications where non-sparking or compatibility with certain fluids is necessary. NAUGATUCK products are designed to meet standard industrial dimensional and threading specifications, ensuring interchangeability with existing float mechanisms. 3G Electric stocks 118 SKUs of NAUGATUCK floats, including both threaded and through-tube models, providing procurement specialists with a broad selection of sizes and connection types. The inventory covers cylindrical and spherical float shapes, with thread sizes ranging from 1/4 in to 1/2 in IPS and machine threads such as 3/8 in-16 and 1/4 in-20. Each float is identified by a manufacturer part number (e.g., GR70S414HG, GRC5023RC) for precise specification matching. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, these floats are critical components in level switches, pump controls, and alarm systems, where consistent buoyancy and seal integrity are required. 3G Electric supports the line by offering global shipping, enabling engineers worldwide to source NAUGATUCK floats without geographic restrictions. The absence of marketing claims reflects the technical nature of these products; buyers can rely on the dimensional and material data provided for each SKU to select the appropriate float for their application.

Common Applications

  • Industrial tank level control — NAUGATUCK stainless steel threaded floats (e.g., GR70S414HG) used in liquid-level switches for chemical storage tanks.
  • Pump control systems — NAUGATUCK copper threaded floats (e.g., GRC5023RC) employed in sump pump level sensors for non-corrosive fluids.
  • Water treatment — NAUGATUCK through-tube floats (e.g., GRT70S421C) installed in guide-rod assemblies for reservoir level monitoring.
  • Process automation — NAUGATUCK stainless steel machine-thread floats (e.g., GR4X525304SS) integrated into automated fill/drain control circuits.
  • Marine bilge systems — NAUGATUCK copper floats (e.g., GRC1220RH) used in bilge pump switches for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about NAUGATUCK from 3G Electric.

What materials are NAUGATUCK float balls available in?

NAUGATUCK float balls are available in stainless steel and copper. Stainless steel models (e.g., GR70S414HG, GR10S4141B) are suitable for corrosive or high-temperature environments, while copper models (e.g., GRC5023RC, GRC1220RH) are used in applications requiring non-sparking properties or compatibility with certain fluids. The specific material grade is not always listed in the part number, but stainless steel floats are typically 304 or 316 grade, and copper floats are standard industrial copper.

What thread types and sizes are available for NAUGATUCK threaded floats?

NAUGATUCK threaded floats come with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) threads or machine threads. IPS thread sizes include 1/4 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in. Machine thread sizes include 1/4 in-20 and 3/8 in-16. Connection locations can be external (threaded stem protruding from the float) or internal (threaded hole inside the float). These options allow integration with various float switch mechanisms or mounting brackets.

What is the difference between NAUGATUCK threaded floats and through-tube floats?

NAUGATUCK threaded floats have a threaded connection (IPS or machine thread) that attaches directly to a rod or fitting, either externally or internally. Through-tube floats (e.g., GRT70S421C) have a central bore that allows a guide tube or stem to pass through the float, enabling vertical travel along a fixed rod. Through-tube designs are used in applications where the float must slide along a guide to actuate a switch at a specific level.

Are NAUGATUCK float balls suitable for use in potable water systems?

NAUGATUCK stainless steel float balls are generally suitable for potable water systems, as stainless steel is non-reactive and resists corrosion. Copper floats may not be recommended for potable water due to potential copper leaching, depending on local regulations. For specific applications, verify the material composition and consult the manufacturer's documentation. 3G Electric can provide part numbers for stainless steel options if needed.

How do I select the correct NAUGATUCK float ball for my level switch?

To select the correct NAUGATUCK float ball, determine the required thread type (IPS or machine), thread size (e.g., 1/4 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in), connection location (external or internal), and material (stainless steel or copper) based on the fluid and environment. Also consider the float shape (cylindrical or spherical) and dimensions. 3G Electric's catalog lists 118 SKUs with manufacturer part numbers, allowing you to match the float to your switch's specifications.
