Its compact design mounts on any surface from horizontal up to a 24-degree angle, making it adaptable to a wide range of bilge layouts. A reliable mechanical switch actuates the pump motor at a 2-inch water level, keeping the bilge clear without constant monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integral cover adds protection against debris and dampens bilge sloshing to reduce unnecessary pump cycling, and a convenient test knob extends from the cover so the switch can be checked for proper operation at any time. Unlike wire leads on some competitive float switches that flex or hinge with the float, the leads on the 4201-7 are fixed for added durability. The sealed switch mechanism resists moisture, fume-ignition, and electrical shock, and the unit is marine ignition protected and RoHS compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch is CE rated for both 12- and 24-volt systems, with a maximum amp draw of 12 amps at 12 volts DC or 6 amps at 24 volts DC, and comes with a 36-inch wire connection for flexible installation. It contains no mercury, a substance classified as a health hazard and Persistent Toxic Substance in many states. The 4201-7 is built from stainless steel components for long-term reliability in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4201-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 and 24 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Amp Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Amps at 12 Volts DC, 6 Amps at 24 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 24 degrees from horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuation Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 1\/4 inches L x 3 7\/8 inches W x 2 7\/8 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6667 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Float Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE rated, marine ignition protected, RoHS compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMercury Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697420176\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Attwood 4201-7 float switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 4201-7 converts a manual bilge pump into a fully automatic system by actuating the pump motor once the water level in the bilge reaches 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 4201-7 work with my existing bilge pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 4201-7 is designed to work with non-automatic bilge pumps drawing 12 amps or less at 12 volts, converting them to automatic operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum amp draw of this float switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maximum amp draw is 12 amps at 12 volts DC or 6 amps at 24 volts DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the float switch be mounted at an angle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Attwood 4201-7 mounts on any surface from horizontal up to a 24-degree angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 4201-7 include a cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this model includes an integral cover that adds protection, dampens bilge sloshing to reduce pump cycling, and helps prevent debris interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage systems is this switch rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4201-7 is CE rated for both 12-volt and 24-volt DC marine electrical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the wire lead on the 4201-7?\u003c\/strong\u003e It comes with a 36-inch wire connection for installation flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt what water level does the switch activate the pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e The mechanical switch actuates the pump motor once water in the bilge reaches a 2-inch level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Attwood 4201-7 contain mercury?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 4201-7 contains no mercury, a substance classified as a health hazard and Persistent Toxic Substance in many states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the float switch made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4201-7 is constructed with stainless steel components for durability in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 4201-7 ignition protected?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Attwood 4201-7 is marine ignition protected and RoHS compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 4201-7 float switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4201-7 measures 5 1\/4 inches long by 3 7\/8 inches wide by 2 7\/8 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989669687515,"sku":"ATT-4201-7","price":35.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/att-4201-7_large__37569.1558177759.500.750.jpg?v=1785188875","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-4201-7-automatic-bilge-pump-float-switch-with-cover-12v-24v-fits-pumps-drawing-12-amps-or-less","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
