Product Description

The 10-785-PP OEM 10-Pack is production-quantity packaging of Compac's side-mounted polypropylene level switch — engineered for OEM machine builders installing one level switch per unit across a build run. Each pack contains ten complete 10-785-PP assemblies: 10-782-PP stem, unicellular split float, 1/8" NPT jam nut, and 24" pigtail leads per unit. The ERECTA SWITCH modular design means every part in the pack is individually stocked — service departments can support installed units indefinitely without re-engineering.

Key Features

Engineered specifications and field-service advantages — not marketing language.

Ten complete assemblies per pack

Configured and ready to install — no parts to kit, no consumables to source separately.

25% OEM volume discount

Published price reflects production-run economics; no negotiation, no minimum-order games.

Field-reversible NO/NC per unit

Every unit orientable for open-on-rise or close-on-rise at installation. No SKU proliferation on the build sheet.

Stocked service parts

Split floats, stems, and jam nuts individually available for 20+ year service life on installed equipment.

ERECTA SWITCH compatibility

Every unit is interchangeable with the modular system — upgrade paths to bulkhead adapters, slosh shields, or receptacle housings do not require re-specification.

Applications

Specific installation scenarios that match the 10-785-PP configuration.

OEM coolant systems on CNC machining centers — one switch per machine, one pack per build batch
Commercial HVAC condensate monitoring across multi-unit production runs
Semiconductor wet-process equipment builders specifying side-mount sensing on every rinse station
Plating line OEMs integrating level alarm on every work tank in a multi-station line
Pressure washer manufacturers monitoring detergent tank level on production-run units

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Product

What is the difference between a float level switch and a liquid level sensor?

A float level switch like the 10-785 is a point-level device: a float rides the liquid and actuates a magnetic reed switch at a set height, giving a simple on/off signal — no power, no firmware, no calibration. "Sensors" usually means continuous measurement (ultrasonic, radar, capacitive). ERECTA SWITCH targets reliable discrete-point control.

What are the typical applications for the 10-785?

The 10-785 is used for pump start/stop control, high-level overflow protection, low-level dry-run protection, and tank or reservoir level alarms in OEM equipment. The modular ERECTA SWITCH system is built into laundry, HVAC, water-treatment, hydraulic, and chemical-handling machinery.

What liquid chemistries is the 10-785 compatible with?

Choose the material to match the media: Polypropylene (PP) for general aqueous, acids, and bases; Acetal (AC/Delrin) for solvents, fuels, and hydrocarbons; Kynar PVDF (KR) for aggressive or harsh chemicals. Every ERECTA SWITCH model is offered in all three materials.

Is the 10-785 a point-level or continuous-level device?

The 10-785 is point-level — it provides a discrete on/off signal at a set height. For multiple switch points, use a multi-level extended-stem set (2-, 3-, or 4-level) instead of a single continuous sensor.

What mounting options are available for the 10-785?

ERECTA SWITCH offers vertical top-mount, bulkhead, and extended-stem configurations, plus side-mounted single-point models. The mount style is part of the model number — select the configuration that matches your tank geometry.

How is the actuation level set on the 10-785, and how accurate is it?

Point detection is repeatable and mechanical. The trip height on the 10-785 is set by the 10-715 Precision Nipple, ordered separately in 1-inch increments (1″–70″), so you place the switch point exactly where the application needs it.
