Heavy-Duty, Optical and Economy Float Switches
| These switches are ready for use in areas that call for a heavier duty switch, where mechanical parts are not feasible or where cost is an issue and normally-closed operation is desired (FLT133). Please note that for volume orders we can custom create an economical switch to meet virtually any single-point or multi-point level-sensing need. | ![]() |
