Its compact, low-profile design mounts on any surface from horizontal up to a 24-degree angle, making it adaptable to a range of bilge configurations. Inside, a reliable mechanical switch actuates the pump motor once water reaches a 2-inch level, so the pump only runs when it is actually needed. The switch is rated for both 12-volt and 24-volt DC systems and is CE rated, with a maximum amp draw of 12 amps at 12 volts or 6 amps at 24 volts. A 36-inch wire connection is included for wiring into the boat's bilge pump circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is plastic, and the switch mechanism is sealed to resist moisture, fume-ignition, and electrical shock, an important safety feature in an enclosed bilge environment. The unit contains no mercury, avoiding a substance classified as a health hazard and Persistent Toxic Substance in over 26 states. It measures 4 1\/4 inches long by 3 7\/8 inches wide by 1 3\/8 inches high. Non-automatic bilge pumps drawing 12 amps or less can be converted to automatic operation using this float switch, making it a straightforward upgrade for boats that currently rely on manually triggered bilge pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
