Dayton 6PNV7 Float Switch Application
The Dayton 6PNV7 is a float switch designed for liquid-level control in pumps and plumbing systems. It operates on 115 or 230 volt AC power and carries a 13 amp rating. A 20 foot power cord with wire leads provides flexible installation. This new component suits residential, commercial or industrial fluid management tasks.
Replacing Mechanical Level Controls
This switch upgrades basic manual or fixed-level controls by automating pump activation based on actual fluid height. The jump is worth it when tanks or sumps need reliable unattended operation without complex electronics. It eliminates the need for constant monitoring and reduces the risk of dry-running or overflow damage in compatible pump setups.
Build Integration And Wiring Requirements
The unit connects directly to a pump circuit using the supplied wire leads, requiring a compatible 115 or 230 volt AC supply rated for at least 13 amps. The 20 foot cord allows placement away from the power source without extension wiring. Installers must ensure the mounting location permits free float movement and that local codes are followed for the application.

Questions about this item
What tank opening or bracket will the 20 ft cord float switch fit?
The float switch hangs from its 20 ft cord so it needs a tank or sump with a vent or hatch wide enough to pass the float body through; no bracket is included.
How is the 115/230 V AC float switch wired, and what step is often missed?
Connect the two wire leads in series with the pump hot lead at the supply voltage used; the step often missed is confirming the control circuit matches the 13 A rating before energising.
When should the float switch be replaced?
Replace it if the float no longer moves freely, the cord insulation shows cracking, or the contacts fail to break the 13 A circuit cleanly at either 115 V or 230 V.
