submersible float switch. For all three phase units and for single phase units
where non-standard float travel is required, the float switch is furnished in a
separate submersible housing for mounting on the discharge pipe of the pump.
APPLICATION:
Type P submersible sump pumps are ideally suited for a variety of applications
including elevator pits, home and industrial building sumps, loading dock areas
and effluent pits. Standard-fitted construction is suitable for most
applications.
ACCESSORIES:
A variety of accessories are available for Type P submersible sump pumps
including magnetic starters, control panels, long-travel float switches, sump
basins (cast iron or steel or fiberglass), pit covers and grouting frames for
concrete pits and high water alarms. Type P pumps can also be controlled by the
