ABSTRACT:
A float switch, housing, and clamping member assembly that is made from plastic and impervious to corrosion, with improvements over the prior art including a wide float switch body for enhanced water displacement that results in a more responsive operation, a housing configured to protect its float switch body from malfunction due to airborne debris, a clamping member configured to create a J-shaped slot between it and the housing when they are connected together over the upper edge of a support surface, such as a plastic condensate collection pan with a flange. Oversized thumbscrews facilitate and expedite installation. Strength-enhancing ribs are associated with the housing and clamping member. Connection between the housing and clamping member can also include a ratcheting configuration.
