The Side-Mount Stainless Steel Float Level Switch is a rugged solution for liquid level monitoring in high-pressure industrial tanks, automotive fuel tanks, and harsh environments. Built with corrosion-resistant stainless steel (304/316L) and a polypropylene float, it tolerates extreme temperatures (-40℃ ~ +150℃, up to 300℃ for high-temperature models) and pressures (5–20 bar). Designed for pump control, overflow alarms, and level indication, it is essential in industrial processing, water treatment, and automotive sectors—where preventing liquid-related hazards (overflow, low levels) is critical.
The stainless steel body resists chemicals, fuels, and water corrosion, while the polypropylene float works with diverse liquids (oils, solvents, drinking water). This durability ensures longevity in marine, chemical, or food-processing environments.
Unlike top-mount switches, its side-mount design saves vertical space and simplifies installation on tank walls—ideal for tall industrial tanks or automotive fuel tanks with limited top access. Maintenance is also easier, as the tank doesn’t need draining.
With a working pressure of 5–20 bar (up to 16.0 MPa for heavy-duty models) and temperature range of -40℃ ~ +150℃ (300℃ for high-temperature variants), it performs reliably in industrial boilers, chemical storage tanks, or engine fuel systems.
The float-activated mechanism supports adjustable high/low/mid-level switch points, enabling precise control—e.g., turning on a pump when levels are low or triggering an alarm when levels are too high, adapting to diverse application needs.
Side-mount switches fit tall tanks with limited top access, save vertical space, and allow maintenance without draining the tank—critical for non-stop industrial processes.
Yes—food-grade 316L stainless steel and polypropylene options meet hygiene standards for food processing or pharmaceutical liquid storage (e.g., water-for-injection tanks).
Minimal—occasional float cleaning to remove debris (e.g., sediment in water tanks). The magnetic reed switch has no liquid-exposed parts, reducing wear.
Yes, if liquids have a density difference ≥0.5 g/cm³. The float adjusts to the upper liquid’s level, enabling accurate interface monitoring in separation tanks.
The High-Pressure Stainless Steel Side-Mount Float Switch represents the pinnacle of fluid management engineering, crafted specifically for demanding industrial environments where precision and durability are non-negotiable. When you hold this device, the substantial weight of the cold, precision-machined 304 or 316L stainless steel immediately conveys its structural integrity, while the sleek, frictionless movement of the polypropylene float hints at the flawless magnetic reed mechanism housed within. Unlike conventional top-mounted alternatives that require extensive overhead clearance, this side-mounted architecture penetrates the tank wall laterally. This intelligent design conserves critical vertical space and eliminates the need to drain massive reservoirs during routine maintenance.

Yes, provided the two liquids have a specific gravity (density) difference of at least 0.5 g/cm³. The polypropylene float is precisely calibrated by our engineers to sink through the lighter top layer (such as petroleum or oil) and float securely on the denser bottom layer (such as water), making it highly ideal for chemical separation tanks.
Absolutely not. The magnetic reed switch is hermetically sealed deep within the stainless steel stem. The float, which contains the actuating magnet, moves entirely on the outside of the stem. This complete physical isolation ensures the delicate electrical components never come into direct contact with the aggressive liquid medium.
Because the magnetic reed switch operates purely on magnetic fields without any physical friction or mechanical linkages exposed to the fluid, it boasts an exceptionally long operational life. Under specified electrical loads, it can reliably perform millions of rapid switching cycles with absolutely zero degradation in signal accuracy or response time.
While side-mount switches are typically utilized for highly accurate single-point detection at their specific installation height, we can engineer custom multi-point solutions. Alternatively, we highly recommend installing multiple side-mount switches at varying elevations on the tank wall to create a comprehensive, fail-safe high, mid, and low-level automated control network.
