For installations that need extra cord reach, the American Granby Wide Angle Float Switch with a 20-foot cord (Normally Closed) provides dependable automatic liquid-level control for pumps, motors, and other electrical devices. The float tilts as the water level changes, opening or closing the internal contacts to switch the connected equipment on or off, giving you hands-free level management.

Choosing Normally Closed

The Normally Closed rating describes the state of the contacts when the float is hanging straight down in the vertical position. N.C. switches are typically wired to turn a device off when the liquid reaches a high level, which makes them a natural fit for high-level shutoff and overflow-prevention duties such as stopping a fill pump or closing off a process when a tank approaches full. Selecting the correct contact configuration for your control logic is essential, so confirm that N.C. operation matches the behavior you want before wiring the switch into your system.

The longer 20-foot cord is what sets this version apart, making it ideal for deeper sumps, cisterns, and large storage tanks, or for installations where the control panel sits a considerable distance from the float. Wide-angle float switches are valued for their broad travel between the on and off points, which avoids the short-cycling that can quickly wear out a connected pump or motor and shorten its service life. Float switches of this type see use throughout water and wastewater handling, storage, and treatment applications. Before installing, confirm that the switch's voltage and amperage ratings match your application, hang the float where it can move freely through the full level range without catching on tank walls or fittings, and route and secure the cord so it remains protected over the life of the installation. With its extended cord and durable wide-angle design, this switch is a versatile choice for demanding level-control tasks in residential, agricultural, and light-commercial water-handling systems, delivering dependable automatic operation for years.
