Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 699855 Float Ball For F&T Trap

The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 699855 is an essential replacement part for F&T traps, which are extensively used in HVAC condensate drainage systems. This little buoyant ball serves as a level sensor by floating inside the trap. When condensate accumulates in the trap, the rising water lifts the float ball. This activates a device, usually a lever or switch, which closes a bypass valve or turns off the condensate pump. By performing this, overflow and possible water damage are avoided. Water damage and system inefficiencies may result from a flooded trap caused by a defective float ball. Replacing a worn or broken Xylem-Hoffman 699855 float ball ensures adequate condensate drainage and keeps your HVAC system from sustaining costly water damage.
