Little Giant RS-5 Diaphragm Pump-down Switch for Sump or Utility Pumps
The Little Giant's piggyback diaphragm switch is designed to convert any manual pump up to 1/2 HP (115V, 15 maximum running Amps) to automatic operation. This switch includes a 10-foot power cord and is suitable for operation in water, making it well-suited for confined spaces.
The switch can be attached to the discharge pipe to control the on-off operation of the pump. It is activated by pressure to a diaphragm, which is caused by rising water around the switch housing. The switch turns the pump on when the water level reaches 8 inches and turns it off when the water level falls to 2 inches (+/- 0.5 inches).
This switch is ideal for use with sump, utility, flood, or pond pumps. The Little Giant RS-5 switch is designed to convert manual pumps up to 1/2 HP to automatic operation, making it a versatile solution for various water-related applications.
The easy installation of the piggyback diaphragm switch is a key feature. It is equipped with a piggyback plug, allowing users to simply plug the pump's plug into the back of the switch plug and then plug the switch into the wall outlet.
The compact design of the switch makes it suitable for confined spaces, such as narrow sump pits or basins, 5-gallon pails, and other small spaces. The switch measures 3.031 inches x 1.7 inches x 4.75 inches high, ensuring it can be easily accommodated in tight areas.
The on-off level settings of the switch are also noteworthy. The pump activates when the water reaches 8 inches and shuts off when the water level falls to 2 inches (+/- 0.5 inches). This precise control allows for efficient operation and prevents unnecessary pump cycling.
In terms of specifications, the Little Giant piggyback diaphragm switch features a 10-foot power cord, operates at 115-Volts, and has a maximum running current of 15 Amps. It is suitable for 1/2 HP pumps and is CSA listed in the USA.
Overall, the Little Giant's piggyback diaphragm switch offers a convenient and efficient solution for converting manual pumps to automatic operation, making it a versatile choice for a variety of water-related applications.
