Why it matters

The 92010 is a vertical float on its own piggyback cord: plug it into the outlet, plug the pump into it and clamp it to the discharge pipe. A vertical float rides up and down a rod, so it suits narrow pits where a tethered float would snag.

It is non-mercury, comes with a mounting bracket and clamp, and handles pumps drawing up to 10 A at 120 V.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Good fit if

  • Replacing a stuck float
  • Narrow pits
  • Converting a manual pump to automatic

Look elsewhere if

  • Pumps over 10 A
  • Sewage basins needing a tethered float

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Fits narrow pits
  • Piggyback plug
  • Non-mercury

Cons

  • 10 A maximum
  • Fixed short range
  • Must be clamped carefully

Limitations to weigh

  • Check the switch's amp and horsepower rating against your pump's nameplate before plugging it in.
  • Piggyback switches plug into the outlet and the pump plugs into them; set the pump's own switch to manual or remove it, per the pump maker.
