Steel Float Switch | L-Type Liquid Level Sensor | For Tank or Pool

This stainless steel float switch controls liquid levels automatically in tanks and sumps. It’s made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion. This sensor works with water, oils, and other liquids. Its L-type shape lets you mount it vertically from the side of a tank. Features and Benefits - 304/316 Stainless Steel Body - This material resists rust and handles higher temperatures and pressures better than plastic sensors. - Simple Magnetic Action - A magnet inside the float activates a sealed switch as the liquid level changes. The switch itself does not need power. - Reversible Output - You can flip the float to change the switch from normally open to normally closed. This lets you activate a pump to either fill or drain a tank. - Easy Side-Mount Installation - The L-shaped stem and threaded fitting make it simple to install this tank float switch through a hole in the side of your container. Applications - Water Towers & Tanks - Use this to manage a fill pump automatically or to trigger a high-level alarm. - Industrial Process Tanks - This sensor works for monitoring coolants, wastewater, or chemical solutions in a sump. - Small Custom Projects - Its small size makes it useful as a mini float switch for small tanks in aquaponics or custom machinery. What It Is A Steel Float Switch is a liquid level controller sensor, specifically an L-Type, designed to detect and manage liquid levels in various containers. This particular model features a durable 304/316 Stainless Steel construction. It functions as an automated switch, using the buoyancy of a float to activate an internal switch. When the liquid level changes, the red and white float moves, triggering the internal reed switch to open or close an electrical circuit. This simple yet effective mechanism makes it a key component for automated liquid control. Key Uses & Applications This Steel Float Switch is ideal for plumbing DIY supplies and is specifically designed for application in tanks, pools, and water towers. It acts as a reliable liquid water level controller sensor in these environments. For instance, it can be used to automatically turn a pump on when a tank's water level drops below a certain point, or to switch a pump off when a pool reaches its desired fill level. Its robust stainless steel material makes it suitable for various water-based applications where precise level control is required. How to Choose When selecting a float switch, consider the specific application. This L-Type liquid level sensor is suitable for tank, pool, or water tower use. The 304/316 Stainless Steel material indicates suitability for water and other compatible liquids, offering good corrosion resistance. Ensure the physical switch design and the flexible cable arrangement (though not specified for this product, generally an important factor) are appropriate for your installation. The internal float switch mechanism is standard for this product type, making it a straightforward choice for level control.
