Series F6 & F7 Level Switches - Horizontal/Specialty

Low Cost, Hermetically Sealed Contacts

Be the first to review this product

The Series F6 & F7 Horizontal Float Level Switches are designed to mount through the walls of tanks and other vessels. Internally mounted models F6-HPS-11, F6-MHS and F7-SS6 are secured to the wall of the tank or vessel from the inside while model F6-HPS-21 is mounted from the outside (externally). Models F7-HSS and F6-MHS2 can be installed internally or externally.

The Series F6 & F7 Specialty Float Level Switches are designed for unique applications. Model F7-SS5BNC can be used with viscous liquids or liquids with suspended metal particles. Use model F7-LL for low level detection (≥ 5/8"). The non-intrusive bottle style F7-EB mounts completely outside the tank at the actuation level. Suspend model F7-WBB in stand pipes or sumps for leak detection or drop into wells for ground-water monitoring.

Question

How does the F6-HPS-11 Level Switch attach to my tank?

Answer

Drill a 1/2" hole in the side of your tank. With the F6-HPS-11 body inside the tank, insert the screw and exposed wires through this hole and secure the unit in place with the corresponding nut.
