Pump Down Switch W/Pigy Bk Plg

About this item Mercury activated, wide angle switch designed for direct control of pumps up to 1/2 HP at 120 VAC and 1 HP at 230 VAC. This mercury activated, wide angle pump provides automatic control of smaller pumps in non-potable water and sewage applications. Although this switch is not sensitive to rotation, it is affected by turbulence and should be mounted in a non-turbulent location. The Junior Super Single® pump switch is not recommended for use with motor contactors or relays because the motor contactor or relay may experience chattering. A Super Single® or Double Float® pump switch would operate more efficiently in these installations. Adjustable pumping range of 6.5 to 19 inches. Includes standard mounting clamp and boxed packaging.
