Side Mounted Single Point
Level Switches & Sets

A generator packager uses horizontal cylindrical day tanks where there's no vertical access through the top — the tank sits inside a steel skid frame with no room for a top-mounted switch. A side-mounted 10-788-AC installs through the tank end wall at the low-level alarm height. Acetal construction resists diesel fuel. The relay housing accepts an optional solid state relay to drive an alarm panel directly without a separate relay enclosure.

A chemical metering system OEM needs to detect when a bulk chemical tote is nearly empty so the metering pump shuts off before running dry. The tote has a flat side wall — a 10-788-KR mounts through a drilled hole near the bottom. PVDF Kynar handles the aggressive chemistry (sodium hypochlorite for water treatment). The pump-dry condition is the failure mode the customer is designing against — running a metering pump dry destroys the diaphragm.

An air handler manufacturer needs overflow detection in their condensate drain pan. The pan has only 2–3 inches of vertical clearance below the evaporator coil — no room for a vertical float switch. A compact 10-785-PP mounts through the side wall of the pan and detects when water reaches the alarm level. The switch signals the building management system to shut down the blower and trigger a maintenance alert. Polypropylene handles condensate water chemistry.

A machine tool builder needs coolant level detection in their CNC mill's coolant sump. The sump sits under the machine bed with no vertical access — a side-mount switch installs through the sump wall. The 10-786-R with relay housing lets the customer mount a solid state relay that directly controls the coolant pump, shutting it off before the sump runs dry. The connector terminal allows quick disconnect during machine service without cutting wires.

A commercial dishwasher OEM needs to detect when the rinse aid supply tank is low so the machine displays a refill alert. The tank is a small polypropylene reservoir mounted inside the machine cabinet with only side access. A 10-787-PP with extended lead wire runs the signal back to the control board mounted elsewhere in the cabinet. No relay housing needed — the control board handles the logic. The extended lead eliminates a splice inside the machine.

A water treatment system integrator needs a high-level alarm on an acid neutralization tank to prevent overflow. The tank already has vertical-mount level switches controlling the fill and drain pumps — the side-mounted 10-788-KR provides an independent backup alarm at the high-water mark. Mounting through the side wall at the alarm height gives a physically independent detection point. PVDF Kynar construction handles the low-pH effluent entering the neutralization system.
