Mechanically-Activated, Wide-Angle Pump Switch for High Temperature Applications
The High Temperature Pump Switch is a mechanically-activated, wide-angle switch specifically designed for performance and dependability in high temperature sump applications up to 200°F (93°C). Provides automatic control of pumps in:
- Water
- Sewage applications
This High Temperature pump switch is not sensitive to rotation or turbulence allowing it to be used in both calm and turbulent applications.
Features
- Mechanically-activated, snap action contacts
- High impact, corrosion resistant, polypropylene float housing
- Adjustable pump range of 8 to 36 inches (20 to 91 cm)
- Twin wall design of float housing (patent pending) protects internal components from heat and moisture
- 3 year limited warranty
- CSA certified
Options:
This switch is available:
- for pump down applications
- with a 125 VAC or 250 VAC piggy back plug
- without a plug for direct wiring in 125 VAC or 250 VAC applications
- in standard cable lengths of 10, 20, or 30 feet and 3, 6, or 10 meters
