Product Description

The 10-788-PP solves a specific tank configuration: vertical float operation is required for reliability, but the wire exit must be on the side wall — not the top. The 10-782-PP stem operates vertically, a 10-700-SS slosh shield protects the float from turbulence and debris, and a 10-700CA angle connector routes the 24" pigtail leads out through a side-wall pass-through. This is a different mechanism than Compac's split-float side mounts (10-785/787/786) — choose the 10-788 when top access is blocked but vertical-float reliability is non-negotiable.

Key Features

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

Vertical-operation 10-782-PP stem

Float travels on the stem under gravity — the most reliable configuration for critical level applications.

10-700CA angle connector

90° wire exit routes pigtail leads through the tank side wall without top penetration.

Integrated 10-700-SS slosh shield

Protects the float from turbulence, debris, and cleaning spray.

Polypropylene wetted parts

Water, mild acids/caustics, detergents, plating rinses, and aqueous process fluids to 180°F continuous.

ERECTA SWITCH modularity

Angle connector, slosh shield, stem, and float all individually stocked for field service.

Applications

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

Under-counter water treatment reservoirs with side-wall conduit runs
Roof-mounted HVAC condensate reservoirs where top penetration voids equipment warranty
Closed-top chemical tanks with factory-installed side-wall wire pass-throughs
Stacked process vessels where the tank top is inaccessible
Retrofit applications replacing top-mount floats after equipment relocation blocks overhead access

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.
