Dayton 10A176 Mechanical Float Switch 230VAC 15 psi accessory

SKU CH-GYRA-RZHY2

A mechanical float switch rated for 230 VAC and 15 psi to control pump operation

  • Reliable liquid-level control with mechanical float operation
  • Handles 230 VAC circuits for standard mains compatibility
  • Rated to 15 psi for moderate-pressure applications
  • Normally-open contact closes on rising level for pump-down duty
  • Dayton brand quality backed by manufacturer specifications

What it is

The Dayton 10A176 is a mechanical float switch rated for 230VAC operation and a 15 psi pressure limit. It is designed for pump control in plumbing and fluid-management systems where automatic level sensing is required.

Deciding specification

The 15 psi maximum pressure rating determines whether this switch suits your tank or vessel. If the system pressure can exceed that value, the switch will not provide reliable service and a higher-rated device must be selected.

Installation notes

Wiring is straightforward for a normally open contact at 230VAC, but the float arm must move freely without obstruction. The most common issue is debris or tank geometry restricting travel, which prevents the switch from actuating at the correct level.

Highlights
