Product Description

The 10-787-PP OEM 10-Pack is production-quantity packaging of Compac's 1/4" NPT side-mounted polypropylene level switch. Each pack contains ten complete 10-787-PP assemblies: 10-782-PP stem, 10-702-BH bulkhead adapter, unicellular split float, 1/4" jam nut, and 24" pigtail leads per unit. The ERECTA SWITCH modular design means bulkhead adapters, split floats, and stems are individually stocked for service on installed equipment.

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 10-787 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 10-787?

The 10-787 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 10-787 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 10-787 a point-level or continuous-level device?

The 10-787 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 10-787?

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 10-787, and how accurate is it?

Point detection is repeatable and mechanical. The trip height on the 10-787 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.
