How they assemble

RDF-5012 and RDF-5001 make a complete side mounted level switch. The float pivots on the body, and because the float clears a 5/8 inch hole the whole assembly installs from outside the tank without an access panel.

Materials follow the rest of the catalog: polypropylene, acetal, nylon, PBT, PVDF and PVC. See the materials table.
