Description
APG FS-400 Series Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switches are durable float switches with CSA and NSF certifications and a wide range of applications. Their compact size — less than 3.5” from top of threads to end of stem — all stainless steel wetted materials, and user-reversible switch orientation, make them an easy choice for OEM, water and wastewater, and chemical applications. Compact, durable, easy to use.
With all stainless steel wetted materials, operating temperatures up to 500° F, and a 100 W switch, the series FS-400 float switch fits a wide range of applications in two standard configurations.
From the top of the mounting threads, to the bottom of the stem, the FS-400 is less than 3.5″ long, and the float is just over 2″ wide.
Temperature Ranges
The FS-400-S has an operating temperature range of -40° to 368° F (-40° to 187° C), and the FS-400-HT extends that range to -40° to 500° F (-40° to 260° C)!
Certifications
FS-400-S switches carry CSA Explosion Proof certifications, while FS-400-HT models are certified for General Use. All FS-400 switches are NSF 169 certified.
User Reversible Operation
FS-400 float switches come standard with Normally Open operation. The e-clip at the bottom of the stem is easily removed to change to orientation of the float, changing the switch operation to Normally Closed.
