M3827-2: Stainless Steel Side-Mounted Level Switch

M Series
Stainless Steel "Side Kick" Side-Mounted Liquid Level Switch

The M3827 is a traditional style reed switch in a new design. This all stainless steel side-mounted switch is engineered such that the magnetically-actuated reed switch will not come in contact with the fluid being monitored. The float is attached to an extended pivot arm that, when moved, triggers the switch function.

This design makes the M3827 ideal for use in heavy-bodied liquids or in fluids containing metal particles that would otherwise be attracted to a conventional style float. This level switch has a compact installed height of 3-1/2" from switch to float and is available Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). The M3827 is offered in a choice of three mounting styles: 1/8" NPT, 1/2" NPT and 1/2-13 bulkhead.

Ideal for heavy-bodied liquids or fluids containing metal particles
Compact installed height of 3-1/2" from switch to float
Reed switch will not come in contact with the liquid
