• 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.
