Designed for straightforward installation and dependable performance, this compact liquid level sensor uses a magnetic reed switch mechanism to automatically detect and control water or liquid levels — no external power supply or complex circuitry required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Mainland China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe float rises and falls with the liquid level inside your tank or vessel. As it moves, the internal magnetic float approaches the sealed reed switch, triggering an open or close action. When the float moves near the reed switch, the circuit closes (ON); when it moves away, the circuit opens (OFF). This simple, self-contained mechanism makes it ideal for automatic level monitoring and control in a wide range of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloat Ball Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene (PP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloat Body Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene (PP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Contact Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Switching Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Switching Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Breakdown Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Carry Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Contact Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 mΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10°C to +60°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEU LVD Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low voltage — below 50V AC or 75V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eNo external power required\u003c\/strong\u003e — purely mechanical float operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eCompact \u0026amp; lightweight\u003c\/strong\u003e — smaller footprint than standard mechanical switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eLong service life\u003c\/strong\u003e — durable PP construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable switching direction\u003c\/strong\u003e — remove the clamp and flip the float downward to switch between open-on-rise and close-on-rise modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eWide compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — suitable for water treatment, food processing, petrochemical, dyeing, hydraulic systems, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eSimple installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — horizontal mounting with no complicated setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater tanks \u0026amp; cisterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSump pumps \u0026amp; drainage systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAquariums \u0026amp; hydroponic setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial liquid storage tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFood \u0026amp; beverage processing equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIrrigation and water treatment systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products You May Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/air-compressor-pressure-gauge-0-10-0-12-0-25-bar-hydraulic-diy\"\u003eAir Compressor Pressure Gauge 0-10\/0-12\/0-25 Bar | DIY Tool\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/electromagnetic-induction-tester-coil-motherboard-fault-detector\"\u003eElectromagnetic Induction Tester – Coil \u0026amp; Circuit Fault Detector\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/balashov-2500w-handheld-steam-cleaner-kitchen-car-home\"\u003eBALASHOV 2500W Handheld Steam Cleaner – Kitchen, Car \u0026amp; Home\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/hand-power-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOSHA guidance on hand and power tools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What is a PP horizontal float switch used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: A PP horizontal float switch is a liquid level sensor used to automatically monitor and control the level of water or other compatible liquids in tanks, reservoirs, sump systems, and industrial equipment. When the liquid rises or falls to a set point, the float triggers the internal reed switch to open or close the circuit, activating pumps, alarms, or other connected devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can I adjust whether the switch turns on when the water rises or falls?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes! The switching direction is fully adjustable. Simply remove the clamp on the float switch and flip the float ball downward to change the action — allowing you to configure it to turn ON or OFF depending on whether the water level rises or drops. This makes it versatile for both fill and drain control applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this float switch compatible with liquids other than water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The float ball and body are made from polypropylene (PP), which offers good resistance to many common liquids including mild chemicals, oils, and water-based solutions. It is widely used in water treatment, food processing, dyeing, and hydraulic machinery. Always verify chemical compatibility with PP material before use with aggressive solvents or strong acids\/bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What are the electrical ratings for this float switch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The switch has a maximum contact rating of 10W, a maximum switching voltage of 220V, a maximum switching current of 0.5A, a maximum carry current of 1.0A, and a maximum contact resistance of 100 mΩ. It is rated for EU LVD low-voltage use (below 50V AC or 75V DC in standard low-voltage applications) and operates in temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is a PP horizontal float switch used for?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A PP horizontal float switch is a liquid level sensor used to automatically monitor and control the level of water or other compatible liquids in tanks, reservoirs, sump systems, and industrial equipment.
