Product Description

The 10-102 is the standard vertical-mount switch set for tanks with a 1-1/4" NPT port and no requirement for internal access during installation. Unlike the 10-101 bulkhead, which threads from the inside out, the 10-102 installs entirely from outside the tank — the 10-700-R1 receptacle housing screws into the NPT port, the precision nipple drops in from above, and the switch assembly seats into the receptacle. No entry into the vessel required.

The 10-700-R1 receptacle provides a robust housing at the tank wall, protecting the wiring connection point and giving the assembly a clean, serviceable interface. Thread engagement point is approximately 0.43" (10.9 mm) from the top of the receptacle. The switch and nipple can be removed and replaced without disturbing the tank fitting.

Complete set includes 10-782 magnetic reed switch, 10-700-CS straight connector, and 10-700-R1 receptacle — all polypropylene. Precision nipple (10-715) ordered separately in 1" increments from 1" to 70".

Minimum CD: 3.0" (76.2 mm). NL = LL − 2.20" (LL − 55.9 mm) — accounts for the 0.43" receptacle thread engagement added to the base 1.77" switch dimension.

The ERECTA SWITCH architecture means the receptacle stays permanently mounted; only the switch and nipple need to come out for service or reconfiguration.

What Makes the 10-102-PP the Right Choice

1-1/4″ NPT outside-in installation
Receptacle mounts into the 1-1/4″ NPT port from outside. Nipple and switch assembly drop in from above. No internal tank access required.
Receptacle wiring enclosure
The 10-700-R1 receptacle provides a sealed enclosure for the wire splice above the tank mount.
ERECTA SWITCH modular architecture
Every component is independently field-replaceable. Switches, connectors, fittings, and spacers service individually — no need to replace the entire assembly.
Polypropylene construction
Handles water, water-based coolants, soaps, detergents, and dilute acid/alkaline solutions. For solvents or stronger chemicals, see Acetal or Kynar PVDF variants.
10-715 Precision Nipple system
Nipple ordered separately in 1″ increments from 1″ to 70″. Sets the liquid level at which the switch actuates. One nipple per switch assembly.
RoHS compliant · Made in USA
Every Series 10 switch manufactured in Paradise, California. RoHS compliant throughout. No minimum order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Product

What is the difference between a float level switch and a liquid level sensor?

A float level switch like the 10-102-PP is a point-level device: a float rides the liquid and actuates a magnetic reed switch at a set height, giving a simple on/off signal — no power, no firmware, no calibration. "Sensors" usually means continuous measurement (ultrasonic, radar, capacitive). ERECTA SWITCH targets reliable discrete-point control.

What are the typical applications for the 10-102-PP?

The 10-102-PP is used for pump start/stop control, high-level overflow protection, low-level dry-run protection, and tank or reservoir level alarms in OEM equipment. The modular ERECTA SWITCH system is built into laundry, HVAC, water-treatment, hydraulic, and chemical-handling machinery.

What liquid chemistries is the 10-102-PP compatible with?

Choose the material to match the media: Polypropylene (PP) for general aqueous, acids, and bases; Acetal (AC/Delrin) for solvents, fuels, and hydrocarbons; Kynar PVDF (KR) for aggressive or harsh chemicals. Every ERECTA SWITCH model is offered in all three materials.

Is the 10-102-PP a point-level or continuous-level device?

The 10-102-PP is point-level — it provides a discrete on/off signal at a set height. For multiple switch points, use a multi-level extended-stem set (2-, 3-, or 4-level) instead of a single continuous sensor.

What mounting options are available for the 10-102-PP?

ERECTA SWITCH offers vertical top-mount, bulkhead, and extended-stem configurations, plus side-mounted single-point models. The mount style is part of the model number — select the configuration that matches your tank geometry.

How is the actuation level set on the 10-102-PP, and how accurate is it?

Point detection is repeatable and mechanical. The trip height on the 10-102-PP is set by the 10-715 Precision Nipple, ordered separately in 1-inch increments (1″–70″), so you place the switch point exactly where the application needs it.
