I agree with Tony about "bille" But would "libre" be better than "flottante"?
e.g.
Après le nettoyage, agiter la valve (I3) avec les mains pour vérifier que la ***bille interne est libre*** dans son logement; nettoyer encore si nécessaire.

Once it has been cleaned, shake the valve (I3) by hand to check that the ball inside moves freely in its seating.
