Warrick 164870 Float Switch
The Warrick 164870 is a high-performance Series M level control float switch designed for demanding liquid level monitoring in HVACR and industrial applications. Engineered with a 316 stainless steel float and stem, this side-mount level sensor provides exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in high-temperature or pressurized environments where plastic alternatives fail. Utilizing a reliable magnetic reed switch mechanism, the unit offers a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) configuration that can be field-selected for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) operation by simply reversing the float orientation. With its 1/2" NPT mounting connection, the 164870 ensures a leak-proof seal in tanks and reservoirs. Techs value this liquid level switch for its precise repeatability and low-maintenance profile, making it a staple for sump pump control, boiler feed systems, and condensate management where chemical compatibility is non-negotiable.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- 316 Stainless Steel Construction: Provides maximum protection against pitting and oxidation in harsh chemical or high-heat environments.
- Field Reversible Logic: Allows for quick adjustment between high-level and low-level alarms without needing additional parts.
- Compact Side-Mount Profile: Ideal for low-clearance installations in tight mechanical rooms or small vessels.
- Broad Media Compatibility: Rated for use in water, oils, and various chemicals, ensuring versatile stock utility for service trucks.
- High Reliability Reed Switch: Hermetically sealed to prevent contact contamination, ensuring consistent signal switching for control panels.
How do I change the switch from Normally Open to Normally Closed?
To reverse the logic, remove the retaining clip at the end of the stem, flip the float 180 degrees, and reinstall the clip. This allows the 164870 to adapt to either high-level alarm or low-level cut-off requirements.
What are the pressure and temperature limits for this stainless steel float?
The Warrick 164870 is engineered to withstand pressures up to 300 PSI and operating temperatures exceeding 250°F, depending on the specific gravity of the fluid being monitored.
Can this float switch be used to directly cycle a heavy-duty pump motor?
No, like most magnetic reed switches, this unit is designed for pilot duty. It should be used to trigger a relay, such as a Warrick Series 16 induction relay or a motor starter, to prevent arcing and premature switch failure.
