Description
- Miniature stainless steel switch for general purpose use
- Heavy duty but compact
- Better in corrosive applications than polypropylene
- 24 inch leads (22 gauge Teflon wire)
- 1/8” NPT fitting – does not come with a nut
- Don’t use in heavy duty applications like sewage pumps
- Great for:
- corrosive environments
- boiling water, steam
- How does it work? See How Float Switches Work
- Dimensions: see our float switch sizing chart
- Specifications:
- max wattage: 30W
- nominal VA: 30 – rated for resistive load
- max temperature: 200 degrees C / 392 degrees F
- max pressure: 300 PSI
- specific gravity: .7*
- normally closed**
- Warranty: manufacturer warrants against defect for one year
- Warnings:
- Using the switch to control a pump? Beware of spiking voltage
- Do not submerge without sealing top to a point above liquid level. See our M8000 tubing adapter (works fine with the M5000 also)
* Great for water. For other fluids, check specific gravity.
** The wires complete a circuit when the float is down. You can reverse the operation by removing the clip, turning the float upside down and replacing the clip.
