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

Meet the Dial 2 in. H x 2-9/32 in. W White Stainless Steel Evaporative Cooler Float Valve — a durable, reliable water level control designed to keep your swamp cooler performing at its best. Built with a stainless steel body and finished in white to blend with most cooler housings, this valve stands up to humid, mineral-rich environments while preventing overflows and unnecessary water waste.

Why this float valve stands out

  • Robust stainless steel construction resists corrosion and mineral buildup, delivering long-lasting performance in evaporative cooling systems.
  • Precise water level control helps prevent overflow and running dry scenarios, promoting cooler efficiency and consistent cooling.
  • Compact, space-saving dimensions — 2 inches high and 2-9/32 inches wide — designed to fit tight reservoirs and common evaporative cooler cabinets.
  • Versatile tubing compatibility accepts standard 1/4 inch tubing and is suitable for both plastic and copper lines, making it a flexible replacement part.
  • Bulk packaging provides ready-to-use stock for service teams, installers, and inventory management.

Ideal for

  • Home evaporative coolers and attic swamp coolers requiring dependable water management.
  • Maintenance and service professionals stocking replacement parts for multiple units.
  • DIY enthusiasts replacing worn or leaky float valves in older evaporative cooling systems.

Installation & maintenance tips

  • Ensure the water supply is off before installation and that the reservoir is drained.
  • Connect to standard 1/4 inch tubing, compatible with both plastic and copper lines.
  • Position the valve so the float can rise freely as the reservoir fills, allowing the valve to close automatically when full.
  • Periodically inspect for leaks and clean any mineral buildup to maintain smooth operation.
  • For best results, flush the line occasionally with a mild vinegar solution to prevent deposits from affecting the float mechanism.

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.
