This Kerick SR06 stainless steel rod is 1/4" in diameter and 6" long. It is made of 18-8 stainless steel for resistance to corrosion and has 1/4"-20 male threads on each end. It is intended for use with 3/8" and 1/2" inlet float valves and 4 x 5" or 2 x 2 x 4" float balls (sold separately). As part of a float valve installation, it is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock water tanks, and chemical manufacturing plants.
Float valves use a rod and float ball attached to a valve shutoff lever to control flow in or out of a tank. The float ball rises or falls with the level of liquid in the tank, changing the angle of the valve shutoff lever. When the angle of the valve lever changes sufficiently, the valve opens or closes. Float valves are rated according to the volume of liquid that can flow through them at a particular pressure to ensure the tank can be refilled as quickly as it is emptied. The material that a float valve is constructed from must be suitable for the liquid in which it operates, which may be corrosive or at an extreme temperature. Float valves are used to automatically regulate the level of liquid within tanks in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock water tanks, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing plants.
Kerick Valve manufactures fluid level control valves for industrial applications. The company, founded in 1994, is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL.

I had to search a lot to find these shorter, 6" float valve arms. Most standard arms are 8" long and won't fit a smaller toilet (For example: The one's that come in kits at the local home store or here on Amazon.). If you have a smaller toilet tank, this is the right part for the job. They were fairly inexpensive so I bought one for all 4 toilets in the house, in case the other 3 rust through their old rod's too. For some reason the standard/original float arms on our toilets have all rusted. I expect good results with this one because it is stainless steel. The best (and only) option for smaller toilet tanks!

This was exactly as described and well made. I would buy again. Fit the float perfectly! I bought different sizes as needed and they all were fantastic

I didn't want another stainless steel rod, since the last one rusted out. But this was the only one I could find that was small enough to fit in my toilet.

It’s a rod. I returned it without using it, but I’m sure it is just fine.
