Goulds Wide Angle Pump Float Switch - A2D13 For 13 Amp Running, 85 Amp Starting Capacity

About This Product

For anyone dealing with pump systems, this Goulds A2D13 wide angle float switch is a workhorse. It's rated for 13 amps maximum running current and can handle up to 85 amps starting current, which covers a good range of residential and commercial pump applications. The 'wide angle' design means it has a broader operating range than standard float switches, which can be really helpful in applications where water levels might vary significantly or where you need that extra margin of operation. Goulds is a well-respected name in pumps and pump accessories, so you know you're getting quality here. This float switch is designed to automatically control pumps based on liquid level - when the float rises or falls to certain points, it triggers the pump to turn on or off. The construction feels durable and built to handle continuous operation in potentially harsh environments. Whether you're using it in sump pumps, sewage pumps, effluent pumps, or other liquid handling systems, having a reliable float switch is crucial for proper system operation. The electrical ratings make it suitable for most common pump motors, and the wide angle action provides that extra reliability that can prevent issues like short cycling. Installation is straightforward if you're familiar with basic electrical and plumbing work. It's one of those components that you don't think about until it fails, so having a quality float switch like this Goulds unit can save you from bigger problems down the line.
