Type C, Closed Tank, with Bushing
Type CG36
Float on left
Flange mounted with bushing for control of liquid level within a closed tank. Build up the
switch to meet your requirements from the basic switch, rod kit, and float kit groups
below.
Type C switches are attached to the tank by means of a 2-1/2 in. screw-in bushing. An
external pointer indicates the float position within the tank when the unit is mounted.
Switches come complete with screw-in connector, stainless steel float and rod.
