Product Description

The 10-788-KR is Compac's vertical-operation side-mount level switch configured in Kynar PVDF — the correct material for aggressive acids, caustics, oxidizers, chlorinated solvents, and other chemistries that attack polypropylene or acetal. The 10-782-KR stem operates vertically with a 10-700-SS slosh shield, and a 10-700CA angle connector routes 24" pigtail leads through the tank side wall. Kynar construction is compatible with sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric acids, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, and most industrial solvents to 180°F (82°C) at 100 PSI (6.9 bar).

Key Features

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

Kynar PVDF wetted construction

Resists aggressive acids (H₂SO₄, HCl, HNO₃), caustics (NaOH, KOH), oxidizers (NaOCl, H₂O₂), and chlorinated solvents.

Vertical-operation 10-782-KR stem

Gravity-driven float travel — most reliable for critical chemical-level sensing.

10-700CA angle connector

90° wire exit for side-wall applications in acid-resistant installations.

Integrated 10-700-SS slosh shield

Rejects turbulence in agitated chemical tanks.

ERECTA SWITCH modularity

Every component available in Kynar — no custom wetted-parts fabrication.

Applications

Specific installation scenarios that match the 10-788-KR configuration.

Sodium hypochlorite storage tank level alarm in water treatment plants
Sulfuric acid day tank level monitoring in metal finishing
Semiconductor wet-process tool chemical level sensing
Caustic (NaOH) storage tank level control in pulp-and-paper operations
Chlorinated solvent reservoir monitoring in industrial degreasing equipment

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 10-788 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 10-788?

The 10-788 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 10-788 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 10-788 a point-level or continuous-level device?

The 10-788 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 10-788?

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 10-788, and how accurate is it?

Point detection is repeatable and mechanical. The trip height on the 10-788 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.
