Float Switch Anchor Mushroom Style – SJE 10 lb | Stable Float Switch Anchor for Tight Installations

SJE Lead-Free Yellow Float Switch Anchor: Precision and Stability for Tight Spaces

SJE Rhombus Lead-Free Yellow Float Switch Anchor is a 10 lb mushroom-style float switch anchor designed to provide reliable support for suspended float switches in confined pumping systems. Field-proven in municipal, utility, construction, and agricultural sectors, this SJE Rhombus mushroom anchor is an ideal solution for duplex lift stations, small-diameter pits, and applications requiring multiple float switches. Its compact, rugged design helps maintain stable positioning for accurate pump control, even where space is limited.

Best paired with a 316 stainless steel chain, this pump float switch anchor is commonly used in tight wet wells or pits, where attaching float switches directly to discharge piping or walls isn’t practical. The float switch cables are securely fastened to the chain using tie wraps or cable ties, allowing precise on/off elevations. For easy servicing, the entire assembly, anchor, chain, and float switches can be conveniently removed from the pit when needed.

How This Float Switch Anchor Improves System Performance

This mushroom float switch anchor helps create a stable pivot point for suspended float switches, improving consistency in pump activation levels. Instead of relying on fixed mounting points, this setup allows flexible positioning while maintaining accurate float movement.

This is especially useful in:

• Narrow or deep pits
• Installations with multiple float switches
• Systems where wall or pipe mounting is not practical

By keeping floats properly spaced and stable, this float switch anchor helps ensure reliable pump cycling and reduces the risk of false triggering or inconsistent operation.

Typical Configuration for Float Switch Positioning

1. High Water Alarm
2. Pump 2 Start
3. Pump 1 Start
4. Pump Off (Bottom Switch near Anchor)
