🔧 9038CG31 SQUARE D FEDERAL CCV – SQUARE D FLOAT SWITCH-MECHANICAL 

🧭 Product Overview

The 9038CG31 Square D Federal CCV Mechanical Float Switch is a durable and dependable unit designed for liquid level control and alternating pump operations. Its rugged cast iron body, stainless-steel float components, and flexible configuration make it ideal for industrial, municipal, and commercial fluid applications.

This float switch operates reliably in a variety of controlled fluids—such as fresh water, sea water, hydraulic oils, and even mildly corrosive solutions—ensuring consistent performance and long service life under demanding environments.

🗒️ Notes

• Designed for vertical installation only.

• Includes adjustable float movement for precise liquid level control (6.5"–13").

• Equipped with a screw-in bushing connection for secure mounting and simplified service.

• Electrical durability up to 100 cycles per minute under rated conditions.

• Fully compatible with both Square D and Telemecanique systems for maintenance flexibility.

• Ideal for use in pump alternation, water treatment systems, cooling towers, and hydraulic reservoirs.

🌟 Key Features

• Heavy-duty cast iron housing for durability

• Stainless steel and brass wetted components resist corrosion

• Adjustable float travel for accurate liquid level control

• 4 NC snap-action contacts for reliable performance

• External pointer for easy visual indication

• 600V NEMA 1 enclosure for general-purpose environments

• Compatible with multiple fluids including water, oil, and mild corrosives

⚠️ Important Note

Square D and Telemecanique are both brands owned by Schneider Electric, which acquired Telemecanique in 1988 and Square D in 1991.

In recent years, certain products—such as float and pressure switches formerly sold under the Square D name—have been rebranded under the Telemecanique Sensors line.

💡 Despite the rebranding, the technical specifications, quality, and performance remain identical across both product lines.
