Electro-Magnetic Bilge Pump Float Switches

The most reliable float switches use pressure-tested 304 or 316 stainless steel float balls with precisely calibrated magnet placement, ensuring consistent activation points. Stainless construction resists corrosion, cracking, and pressure failure better than plastic alternatives, making magnet-integrated stainless floats the preferred choice for marine, wastewater, and industrial environments requiring long-term dependability.

These float switches are typically constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance in saltwater and chemical environments. The float ball houses a custom-sourced magnet, and finishes range from matte to brushed to fully polished, depending on the application's aesthetic and functional requirements.

Yes, float balls with magnets are available in round sizes from 1-1/2" to 14" and oblong sizes ranging from 2 x 6" to 9 x 14", with custom threads, fittings, and through-tube options. Manufacturers can also produce fully custom dimensions and magnet placements to match unique tank geometries and switching requirements.

Standard round float sizes include 1-1/2", 2", 3", 3-1/2", 4", 5", 6", 7", 8", 10", 12", and 14", while oblong options range from 2 x 6" to 9 x 14" with 3/4" NPT or 1/4-20 thread fittings. Custom sizes outside this range can also be manufactured upon request.

Yes, all float balls with magnet integration undergo pressure testing equipment to verify performance under custom specifications, ensuring reliable operation in high-pressure bilge, vacuum tank, and steam trap applications where switch failure could lead to equipment damage or flooding.

Yes, direct shipping is available worldwide with a large ready-to-ship inventory of common sizes, plus custom orders for specialized magnet integration, threads, or fittings. Contact the manufacturer directly by phone or email for lead times and shipping details specific to your location.
