Product Description

The 11-800 is the PEPI bimetallic temperature switch at the core of every Series 11 assembly. It threads directly into any 1/8″ NPT fitting or ERECTA SWITCH component. The embossed code letter on the hex identifies both the contact form and preset temperature set point — making field verification and replacement straightforward. Available in Polypropylene, Acetal, and Kynar PVDF for compatibility with your fluid chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Product

What are the typical applications for the 11-800-AC?

The 11-800-AC 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 11-800-AC 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.

How do I wire the 11-800-AC to a pump or alarm?

The 11-800-AC uses a magnetic reed switch wired in series with your relay or controller. Contact rating is 70 VA / 50 W resistive (UL File E70063). The switch ships with lead wires — connect directly to your control circuit.

Does the 11-800-AC need calibration?

No. The 11-800-AC is a mechanical float actuating a sealed reed switch — there is nothing to calibrate or power. This is a reliability advantage over electronic sensors that can drift over time.

How do I maintain the 11-800-AC, and what if it stops working?

Inspect that the float moves freely (check for debris or scaling), then test reed continuity with a multimeter. Because ERECTA SWITCH is modular, you replace only the individual component — switch, float, connector, or fitting — instead of the whole assembly.

What pressure and temperature can the 11-800-AC handle?

Series 10 level switches are rated to 100 PSI; Series 5 flow switches to 200 PSI. Operating temperature depends on the housing material — Polypropylene, Acetal, and Kynar PVDF each have different thermal limits. Contact Compac engineering for your specific conditions.
