In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Homewerks 5 in. Polystyrene Stock Tank Float is designed to keep troughs and waterers steady and reliable. Crafted from durable polystyrene, this float component works with standard float valve assemblies to help maintain a consistent water level for livestock, pets, and garden troughs. Its compact, straightforward design makes replacements quick and painless, so you spend less time fiddling with fittings and more time with your animals.

Key features

  • Material: Polystyrene—lightweight, rigid, and resistant to corrosion.
  • Size: 5 in. overall length with a 1/4 in. connection for compatible float valve setups.
  • Type: Stock Tank Float—specifically designed for stock tank float valve systems.
  • Packaging: Boxed for secure shipping and ready-to-store convenience.
  • Quantity: 1 piece per package.

Who benefits from this stock tank float?

  • Farm and ranch owners maintaining livestock water troughs who need a dependable float mechanism that won’t corrode or degrade over time.
  • Garden or yard professionals setting up simple, low-maintenance waterers for irrigation or pet troughs.
  • DIY enthusiasts replacing worn or damaged float components in existing float valve assemblies.

Why this matters

A precise 5-inch float length paired with a 1/4-inch connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard float valves, promoting a steady water supply without constant adjustments. The polystyrene material resists moisture exposure and environmental wear, so your setup remains reliable in barn aisles or outdoor setups where temperature fluctuations occur. By choosing a purpose-built stock tank float, you reduce the risk of leaks and avoid overfilling issues that can stress livestock or waste water.

Practical tips for use

  • Verify your float valve’s inlet/output dimensions before installation to confirm the 1/4 in. connection compatibility.
  • Shut off water supply prior to replacement to prevent spills and ensure a clean swap.
  • Inspect the float for cracks or deformation during routine maintenance, and replace if any integrity issues are found.
  • Store spares in a dry area to extend their life and keep them ready for quick repairs.

With the Homewerks 5 in. Polystyrene Stock Tank Float, you gain a straightforward, durable component designed to support reliable water management in agricultural and home settings. Trust in a proven part that supports steady water levels and minimizes maintenance—so you can focus on what matters most: reliable livestock care and efficient watering solutions.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
