Overview

The Little Giant CFST is a tethered narrow-angle, normally open float switch designed to automate pump control when used with compatible control panels for water and sewage effluent applications.

Designed to be paired with control panels such as Little Giant's Simplex or Duplex panels (not included), this switch helps manage pump cycling by sensing liquid levels with a robust, corrosion-resistant housing.

Key Features

  • REQUIRES A CONTROL PANEL: used with compatible control panels to monitor liquid levels in sewage and non-potable water.
  • TYPE: tethered, narrow-angle, normally open, pump-down control float switch.
  • MECHANICAL DESIGN: mechanically activated, non-mercury snap-action contacts sealed in a high-impact polypropylene float housing.
  • PUMP DOWN: closes when the float tilts above horizontal and opens when it drops below it, enabling automatic pump run/stop control.
  • SPECIFICATIONS: 5.0 Amps, 125/250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 20-ft cord, cable clamp included; UL and CSA safety approvals.

Usage & Compatibility

  • COMPATIBLE CONTROL PANELS: works with Little Giant Simplex and Duplex panels (sold separately) and similar panels from Franklin Electric.
  • SAFE OPERATION: suited for water and non-potable effluent sensing in compliant systems; not recommended for loads under 100 mA or 12 VAC.
  • TEMPERATURE & DURABILITY: rated to 140°F; features corrosion-resistant housing for longer life in challenging environments.

Why consider CFST

Envision automated pump control in basements, crawlspaces, or pump rooms where liquid levels change gradually. The CFST provides a reliable switch action when paired with a suitable control panel, helping to minimize manual interventions while keeping systems responsive.
