Attwood Marine Automatic Float Switch for Bilge Pumps - 12V & 24V

Float Switch
Part #: 4202-7

Converts bilge pumps to fully automatic operation. Maximum amp draw is 12 amps (at 12-volt D.C.) or 6-amps (at 24-Volts D.C.). Features a compact, low profile design that mounts on any surface from a horizontal up to a 24x angle. Incorporates a reliable and affordable mechanical switch that actuates pump motor at 2" water level. Wire leads do not flex or hinge with the float as on some competitive models. Integral cover dampens bilge sloshing to reduce pump cycling, and prevents debris interference. Sealed switch mechanism resists moisture, fume-ignition, and electrical shock. Contains no mercury, which is listed as a health hazard and "Persistent Toxic Substance" in over 26 states.

Float switch installs directly onto the rear slots of the V-Series pump bracket. Features a convenient test knob to test pump operation.

The Attwood Marine Part #4202-7 Automatic Float Switch is designed to convert bilge pumps into fully automatic operation, enhancing safety and convenience in marine applications. This switch supports a maximum amp draw of 12 amps at 12-volt DC and 6 amps at 24-volt DC, making it suitable for a variety of pump sizes and power systems. Its compact, low-profile design allows for easy mounting on any surface at angles up to 24 degrees, providing versatile installation options for different bilge configurations. The switch features a reliable mechanical actuation at a 2-inch water level, ensuring timely response to rising water levels without false triggers or delays. Unlike some competing models, the wire leads do not flex or hinge with the float, reducing wear and potential failure over time. An integral cover dampens bilge sloshing noise to minimize pump cycling and prevents debris interference that could impair operation. The sealed switch mechanism resists moisture, fumes, ignition hazards, and electrical shocks, ensuring safe and long-lasting performance. This switch is mercury-free, making it environmentally friendly and compliant with health standards in multiple states. It installs directly onto the rear slots of the V-Series pump bracket and includes a convenient test knob for easy operation verification. The switch is CE rated for quality assurance and comes with a 36-inch wire lead for straightforward wiring. Proper installation and use of this float switch can significantly improve bilge pump reliability and reduce maintenance for boat owners and marine professionals alike.
