FLO106 - Fuel Float Switch
The FLO106 is a non-mercury float switch designed for use in diesel oil. It is constructed from a polypropylene housing moulded to a 3-core EPR insulated polyurethane cable and contains an internal microswitch and rolling ball operator.
We offer a range of counterweights, designed to act as pivots when there is no fixed object to attach a float switch. Alternatively, the Ready Level chain and counterweight assembly can be combined with our FLO range for a complete level control solution.
