LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Wipe the float switch housing and cable with a mild detergent and warm water, focusing on high-touch zones like mounting brackets and nearby surfaces to prevent germ transfer and contamination between front- and back-of-house. Rinse with clean water, dry thoroughly, and inspect seals for damage to avoid moisture intrusion that attracts pests. Clean weekly or after spill events to maintain appearance, meet health-code expectations, and preserve the switch’s serviceability.#@@#Additional Info#@#The R54978-1 float switch detects minimum liquid levels for process control. It measures 6" long, 1.35" high, and weighs 0.12 pounds, offering a compact sensor for culinary and institutional equipment.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing reliability for simplicity. This float switch ensures precise liquid-level detection in critical equipment, enabling consistent control and preventing pump run-dry conditions in foodservice and institutional environments. Designed for commercial systems, it features a compact form factor and easy mounting to reduce installation time and service interruptions.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Mounting dimensions are approximately 6 inches long by 1.35 inches high, fitting confined sumps and equipment housings where space limits component selection. The narrow profile supports retrofits without modifying existing assemblies.
#@@# Reliable Low-Level Detection#@#
Engineered to detect minimum fluid thresholds, the float mechanism signals control circuits before pumps encounter air, reducing motor stress and operational failures. The switch ensures consistent actuation for automated shutdown sequences and alarm systems.
#@@# Commercial-Grade Construction#@#
Built for parts distributors and service technicians, the switch uses materials suited to repetitive cycling and routine maintenance in commercial kitchens and institutional facilities. The design minimizes corrosion risks common in wet environments.
#@@# Service-Friendly Integration#@#
Technicians benefit from straightforward wiring and mounting, which shorten repair windows and lower labor costs during replacements. The design supports rapid swap-outs during preventative maintenance procedures.
#@@# Lightweight Design#@#
Weighing 0.12 pounds, the component adds negligible load to floats and linkages, preserving buoyancy and response times of existing assemblies. Its minimal mass reduces stress on mounting hardware over extended service intervals.
#@@# Compatible Sourcing#@#
Supplied as part number PER54978-1 from PartsTown, the switch aligns with parts catalogs used by service operations and distributors, easing procurement and inventory tracking.
