Fleck PVC Float & Rod For 2310 Safety, 60068-30 (FL60068)

The Float and Rod for a 2310 Safety Valve

The FL60068 is a Fleck PVC float and rod assembly, part number 60068-30, made to work with the Fleck 2310 brine tank safety valve. The float rides on the surface of the water inside the brine tank, and as the level rises and falls through each cycle, the rod translates that movement to the safety valve. It is the sensing element of the system, the part that actually detects how full the tank is so the safety valve knows when to act. The PVC construction is chosen deliberately for the salty, humid conditions inside a brine cabinet.

Why This Part Fails and What It Looks Like

Floats and rods live a hard life. Salt, moisture, and years of cycling can crack the float, waterlog it, or leave the rod sticking or bent so it no longer moves freely. When that happens the safety valve loses its accurate read on the water level, and the protection it is supposed to provide becomes unreliable. If you have found water rising too high in the tank, or overflowing, or the safety valve not responding as it should, a worn float and rod is a common culprit. Replacing this assembly restores the accurate sensing the whole safety system depends on.

How It Fits the Assembly

This float and rod is a matched component for the 2310 safety valve, and it works together with that valve and the brine line to govern the fill and draw of the tank. Because it is specifically built for the 2310, using the correct part ensures the float moves the way the valve expects and the shutoff happens at the intended point. It is a sensible spare to keep on hand for any system running a 2310 safety, since it is a common wear item.

Confirm It Fits Your Setup

Matching this float and rod to your 2310 safety valve and brine tank is important, so a quick check before ordering is worthwhile. Tell us your setup and we will help verify that the FL60068 is the right part. We include the documentation we have on file so you can install it correctly, and the Water Softener Plus team is glad to help you diagnose the fill problem and guide the swap so your brine tank fills safely again.
