Side and Top Mount
Corrosion Resistant Plastic with Optional Metal Pivot Pin

LOW COST RELIABLE DESIGN

  • G.E. Noryl® Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) is suitable for acid and base solutions, pure water, process water, sea water, filtered sewage, contaminated groundwater... Noryl® is not suitable for use in hydrocarbons, petroleum, alcohol and related chemicals.
  • The wetted surface of Model L-40 is entirely of Noryl® (PPO) or Fortron® (PPS) except for a small float support Pivot Pin.
  • Float support pivot pin is supplied in a variety of materials i.e. 316 Stainless Steel, Hast.® C, Titanium, Tantalum and Teflon® to meet special chemical and operations environments.
  • Hoechst Celanese Fortron® Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is suitable for strong acid and base solutions. All of the solutions listed above including hydrocarbons, petroleum products, alcohols, etc. Fortron® (PPS) is a member of a select class of chemically resistant plastic resins for use in a very broad spectrum of chemicals.

10 times less sensitive from deposit and build-up of contaminants than sliding float models.


SPECIFICATIONS

  • Each unit can be supplied with a special made to order 1-1/4" x 1/4" x 1/2" reducer bushing for through wall mounting.
  • Output wire can be twisted pair 22 gauge or two conductor PVC heavy wall instrument cable.
  • STANDARD - SPST reed switch for 120/240 VAC 50 Watt power or DC dry circuit for computer/PLC interface.
  • SPECIAL - High power - SPST/SPDT - 120/240 VAC - 3 amp - 100 Watt.
