Wide Angle Float Sw, 15' Cord, N.C.

The American Granby Wide Angle Float Switch with a 15-foot cord (Normally Closed) is a liquid-level control switch used to automate pumps, motors, and other electrical devices based on water level. As the float rises and falls with the liquid, its internal switch element opens or closes to start or stop the connected equipment, providing reliable automatic control without the need for constant monitoring.

Normally Closed Operation

The N.C. designation refers to the state of the switch contacts when the float hangs vertically. A normally closed switch is typically used to turn a device off as the liquid level rises, which makes it well suited to high-level shutoff applications such as protecting a tank or sump from overfilling, or stopping a fill pump when the desired level is reached. Understanding the contact configuration is important to wiring the switch for the behavior you need, so be sure the N.C. action matches your intended control logic before installing.

• American Granby wide angle float switch

• Durable construction for long service life

Float switches like this are common across a wide range of applications, including sump and effluent control, water and chemical storage tanks, cisterns, condensate management, and water-treatment systems where automatic level control or high-level shutoff is required. The wide-angle action is a key advantage: it provides a generous travel range between the on and off switching points, which prevents the rapid on/off cycling that can prematurely wear out a pump or motor. The 15-foot cord gives flexibility in positioning the float and routing the cable back to the control panel. Before installing, verify that the switch's electrical ratings are suitable for your load, mount it so the float can swing completely freely at the desired level without obstruction, and secure the cord so it cannot chafe or tangle. This product also appears under the alternate part numbers FLOAT SWITCH-NC and FLOAT-SWITCH-NC-110. Thanks to its rugged design and ample cord length, this switch is a dependable choice for automating level control in residential, agricultural, and light-commercial settings alike, providing years of maintenance-free operation when properly installed.
