OVERVIEW

Restore Your Regulator's Accuracy

Can't read your gas flow? If the float in your flowmeter is missing or damaged, the Miller 15178 Red Glass Float is the exact replacement you need to get back to welding. This tiny but mighty component is the heart of your flowmeter, dancing inside the tube to tell you exactly how much shielding gas is covering your weld pool. Made from distinct red glass, it offers superior visibility, making it easy to check your CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) settings at a glance, even from a distance or under a welding hood.

Designed specifically for Miller equipment, this 5/16-inch float fits perfectly into compatible flow tubes, ensuring that the reading you see is the flow you get. Using the wrong size or weight of float can throw off your measurements, leading to wasted gas or insufficient coverage. By sticking with genuine Miller parts, you guarantee that your equipment remains calibrated and reliable.

Installation is simple—usually requiring just the disassembly of the flow tube housing. It's a smart spare part to keep in your maintenance kit, ensuring that a lost ball doesn't shut down your production. Keep your welds clean and your gas usage efficient with this high-visibility replacement float.
