Vertical Top-Mount Float Level Switches
Vertical float switches are mounted at the top or bottom of a tank or vessel and have a float that rises or falls along the stem. Magnets within the float actuate a hermetically sealed reed switch as the float rises and lowers with liquid level.
- Float materials: Polypropylene, Buna-N, 316SS, Kynar, and PTFE
- Stem materials: Polypropylene, PBT, Brass, 316SS, Kynar and PFTE
- 3/8-16 UNC, 1/8" MNPT or 1/4" MNPT mounting threads
- Temperature ranges from -40°F to 482°F (depending on model)
- Pressure ratings up to 500 psig (depending on model)
- Made in the USA
Starting at
$13.00
