Float Switches
FEL Valves custom length multi-point float switches are most importantly suitable for diesel application.
They are an extremely cost-effective way to monitor multiple liquid level points within a single tank. This multi-point (Between 1 and 4 floats) can be configured specifically to your needs.
- As single switches for ‘High’ fuel level indication
- Twin float switches can provide ‘High’ and ‘Low’ switch points for indirect pump start/pump stop applications or to provide pre-set alarm indications, perhaps for overfilling and fuel reorder points.
- Four float assemblies usually provide a combination of alarm and pump start/pump stop functions, whereby the lower and upper floats give Low Low and High High indication
You may choose between ‘Make on Rise’ or ‘Make on Fall’ switch orientation together with the switch point dimensions taken from the top of the tank into which the float switches are to be installed.
We offer 2 different kinds of float switches
- A “Rigid” float switch (This is custom made to your requirement and is made using a 316stainless steel stem and work on magnetic reed switches)
- A “Flexible” Float Switch (This has been developed to meet the requirements of the tank, supplied with a 1” BSP plastic male plug and fittings kit, for easy installation. The flexible switch is suspended into the fluid to be monitored by means of weight and is secured at the desired level by a cable gland in the plug, the float switch and casing are made of durable nylon-based plastic and is suitable for use in diesel oil. This works on a magnetic reed switch system and can be supplied in 2 different lengths (5m or 15m of cable)
