Float System Installation Instructions
Step 1: Installing the Floats
Installation Using the 2” PVC Mounting Bracket
Install the PVC mounting bracket to the side of the
tank and suspend a length of 2” PVC pipe from the
bracket. This allows the installer to mount the floats
the same as they would to the discharge pipe.
Installation Using the Float Mounting Bracket
Mount the bracket to the side of the tank and then
install the floats and weights into the cord snubbers.
Warning:
1.
Do not install a float switch in direct line of incoming liquid
2. Make sure you leave at least 3.5 inches of tether length
between the actual float and the clamping device to allow
the float to tip properly.
The installer can tie wrap the floats to the pump discharge pipe at the
appropriate levels using a heavy duty tie wrap or a clamp designed for that
purpose.
Basic Float Installation
Warning:
In critical applications where a failure could cause property
damage, a separate backup high water alarm should be used.
