This hot-liquid float switch is made from 304 stainless steel. It offers a reliable way to automate tank levels. It works as an automatic level controller. It sends a signal when the liquid reaches a certain point. This is a simple solution for hot water tanks and similar uses. Features and Benefits
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction - This material resists heat and corrosion well. It's good for hot water up to 120°C.
- Sealed Reed Switch - The electrical contacts are sealed inside the stem. This protects them from the liquid and ensures steady operation.
- Flexible Mounting - You can install it at the top or bottom of a tank. This lets it watch for high or low levels.
- Simple On/Off Signal - This float switch gives a clear open or closed circuit. It controls a pump or alarm directly, unlike a complex sensor. Applications
- Managing the water level in a stainless steel hot water tank.
- Automating pumps in a hot, submersible environment.
- Working as a high-level alarm switch in industrial wastewater collection tanks.
What It Is
A float switch is a type of liquid level sensor. This specific model, a Steel Float Switch, is designed to automatically detect and control water levels. It is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel, making it suitable for environments requiring robust and corrosion-resistant components. The internal mechanism, typically a reed switch, is activated by the buoyancy of the float, which moves with the liquid level. This physical switch then sends a signal to control pumps or alarms.
Key Uses & Applications
This 304 Grade Steel Float Switch is primarily used for automatic tank level control. Its high temperature resistance makes it versatile for various industrial and domestic settings where water temperature might fluctuate. Specific applications include water towers, where it can manage the filling and emptying cycles to maintain optimal water levels. Its stainless steel construction ensures durability and suitability for prolonged contact with water.
How to Choose
When selecting a float switch, consider the material, which for this product is 304 Stainless Steel, indicating its durability for water applications. The primary function of a float switch is to act as an automated switch for liquid levels, so understanding how a float switch works – by using the liquid to activate an internal switch – is key. For specific installations, ensure the temperature resistance meets your requirements. Always verify the product type is indeed a float switch for water level control.

Mounting Thread: M10. Product Type: Float Switch. Q: What are the temperature limits for this level sensor? A: This sensor is rated for high-temperature liquids, functioning correctly up to 120°C. It's intended for use in non-pressurized tanks, like a typical water tower.. Q: Why is 304 stainless steel a good material for a float switch? A: Using 304 stainless steel gives the float switch excellent protection against rust and corrosion. This is especially important in water, as it helps the moving parts operate freely over a long time.. Q: How does this connect to my pump or controller? A: It has a simple two-wire lead for the electrical connection. You can wire it to your control circuit to activate when the water level rises or falls, depending on how you install the float.. Q: What happens if the switch fails within the first year? A: We cover it with a one-year warranty against any defects from the factory. If it has a problem due to its construction during that time, we will replace it for you.. Q: Is this automatic level controller difficult to install? A: No, the installation is pretty simple. You just have to mount the switch at the water level you want to detect inside your tank and then wire it into your system..
