Sump Alarm SinkWire 2-Pc Cable Orientation Weight (SA-CW-1)

Description

The Sump Alarm SinkWire 2-Pc Cable Orientation Weight (SA-CW-1) is a thoughtfully designed accessory that plays a crucial role in ensuring the consistent and dependable operation of your sump pump system. By providing a stable pivot point and appropriate weight for tethered float switches, this device helps to eliminate common issues associated with incorrect float switch positioning, such as tangling or failure to respond accurately to water level changes. Its innovative two-piece design offers unparalleled ease of installation, making it a practical solution for both new and existing sump pump setups.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Two Installation Methods: Offers the flexibility to install on new systems or easily attach to existing cables without the need for any rewiring, saving time and effort.
• Ensures Proper Float Switch Orientation: Provides a reliable pivot point that allows the float switch to move freely and accurately in response to rising and falling water levels, preventing malfunctions.
• Universal Cable Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with cables of any size, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of float switch models.
• Environmentally Safe: Constructed with rock fill and contains no lead, making it a safe and environmentally responsible choice for your sump pump system.
• Compact and Effectively Weighted: Features a small 6-ounce profile for easy integration into most sump basins, and its unique design allows it to gain weight when submerged for optimal performance.
• Prevents Float Submersion: Specifically engineered to orient the float switch, not to pull it underwater, ensuring it remains responsive to water level changes.
• Space-Saving Design: Requires only a minimal 3-5 inches of space between the float switch and the pump, making it suitable for even compact sump setups.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Weight: 6 ounces
• Compatibility: Works with cables up to 11 mm (7/16”) diameter
• Material: Rock-filled core with polypropylene/PVC construction
• Dimensions: Compact design suitable for tight sump pits

HOW TO USE:

• Method 1 (for existing cables of any size):
  • Position the two halves of the SinkWire around the float switch cable at the desired point, typically a few inches below the float.
  • Secure the two halves together using the included button head cable tie, ensuring a snug fit around the cable.
  • Verify that the weight provides a stable pivot point for the float switch to swing freely.
• Method 2 (for cables up to 11 mm (7/16”) diameter):
  • Slide the two halves of the SinkWire over the end of the float switch cable.
  • Position the weight a few inches below the float.
  • Snap the two halves together securely around the cable.
  • Ensure the weight allows the float switch to pivot without obstruction.
