Sump Alarm 10-Pk SinkWire 2-Pc Cable Orientation Weight (SA-CW-10)

Description

The Sump Alarm 10-Pk SinkWire 2-Pc Cable Orientation Weight (SA-CW-10) provides a simple yet effective solution for ensuring the reliable operation of your sump pump system. Designed to attach to the float switch cable, this weight acts as a crucial pivot point, allowing the float to move freely and accurately as water levels rise and fall within the sump basin. Its innovative two-piece assembly offers unparalleled installation flexibility, making it suitable for both new and existing sump pump setups without the hassle of rewiring.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Versatile Installation: The unique two-piece design allows for easy attachment to any size float switch cable. It can be directly tied onto the cable or slid over cables up to 11 mm (7/16”) in diameter, accommodating various installation preferences and existing systems.
• Ensures Proper Float Orientation: This cable weight is specifically engineered to orient the float switch correctly. By providing a consistent pivot point, it prevents the float from getting stuck against the sump basin walls or other components, which can lead to pump failure or inefficient operation.
• Space-Efficient Design: Requiring only 3 to 5 inches of space between the float switch and the pump, this compact weight is ideal for sumps with limited space. Its small profile ensures it doesn’t interfere with other components within the basin.
• Environmentally Conscious: Constructed with a rock-filled interior and containing no lead, this counterweight offers a safe and environmentally responsible solution for your sump pump system.
• Optimized Weight: Each weight is precisely 6 ounces, providing the ideal balance to allow the float to respond accurately to changing water levels without being submerged. While it weighs 6 ounces initially, it is designed to release air and take on water when submerged, increasing its sinkage and further stabilizing the float.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Weight: 6 ounces per piece
• Diameter Capacity: Suitable for float switch cables up to 11 mm (7/16”) in diameter
• Installation Type: Two-piece assembly for easy attachment or slide-over installation
• Material: Rock-filled interior, lead-free construction
• Required Space: 3 to 5 inches of clearance between the float switch and pump

HOW TO USE:

• For New Installations or Direct Attachment: Position the two halves of the counterweight around the float switch cable at the desired location (typically a few inches below the float switch).
• Secure the Weight: Using the included button head cable tie, tightly fasten the two halves of the counterweight together around the cable. Ensure the weight is secure and will not slide easily.
• For Slide-Over Installation: If your float switch cable end is accessible, slide the two halves of the counterweight over the end of the cable. Position the weight at the desired location below the float switch.
• Secure the Weight (Slide-Over): If the fit is loose, you can use the included button head cable tie to further secure the weight to the cable, preventing unwanted movement.
• Verify Clearance: Ensure there is at least 3 to 5 inches of unobstructed space between the installed counterweight and the sump pump to allow for free movement of the float switch.
• Test Operation: Carefully fill the sump basin with water to observe the movement of the float switch. The counterweight should allow the float to rise and fall smoothly without getting caught or obstructed.
