Polypropylene Side-Mount Float Switch – SM-1200-PP, SPST, 50 VA, 1/2″ NPT

Description

The SM-1200-PP Polypropylene Side-Mount Float Switch is a durable and highly versatile level sensor, engineered specifically for applications where top access to the tank is restricted or not possible. Designed for horizontal mounting, this float switch features a compact, rugged body made from chemically resistant polypropylene, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of fluid types including water, oils, mild acids, and alkalis.

Thanks to its lightweight construction and low specific gravity, this float switch functions reliably in many low-density liquids, providing accurate and repeatable level detection. The 1/2″ NPT standard threaded connection offers easy integration with most tank walls or pipe fittings, allowing for quick and secure installation without the need for special tools or adapters.

The SM-1200-PP is equipped with a SPST reed switch, rated at 50 VA, capable of handling up to 220 VDC and a maximum switching current of 1.5A, making it ideal for use in alarm systems, pump controls, or liquid monitoring applications. Whether used in industrial, commercial, or OEM settings, this float switch is built to provide long-lasting performance and dependable switching action.

This side-mount switch is supplied with 24-inch, 20 AWG lead wires with PVC insulation, ensuring safe and durable electrical connections even in challenging environmental conditions. It also includes the flexibility to configure the switching action as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) by simply rotating the switch 180° during installation, depending on whether you want the circuit to be completed when the float rises or falls.

With a compact footprint, corrosion-resistant body, and solid-state switching design, the SM-1200-PP is an excellent solution for tank-level monitoring in chemical processing systems, water treatment plants, food-grade equipment, HVAC systems, and many other fluid handling applications.

Lightweight yet robust, this float switch is a cost-effective option that does not compromise on durability or reliability. It is UL Recognized (File# E177423) and designed to meet demanding industrial standards for liquid level sensing.

If you’re looking for a side-mount float switch that delivers dependable switching in chemically aggressive or space-constrained environments, the SM-1200-PP is a proven performer trusted across a wide range of industries.
