M16 Float Switch Panel Bracket, Slotted
This bracket hangs over your tank or sump wall and becomes the panel your threaded float switch bolts through. The hole is sized to an M16 thread, cut for the 16.5mm panel hole the switch maker publishes in its own data sheet, plus a little for the print. The hole is a slot with 30mm of straight travel, so you can set the switch at the level you want. The switch's own cap nut does the clamping from behind, and there is a 14mm gap back there so you can turn it. We hold a clear run beside the hole for the float ball to travel, so no printed part sits in its way. We never clamp a float switch by its body. On most float switches the widest part is the collar that slides, and gripping that would jam the switch. That top channel opens to a wall up to 12mm thick, and a nylon thumb screw snugs it onto anything thinner. That is an adjustable range, not a fit for any one tank, so measure your wall first. Nylon will not scratch glass. The thumb screw is not included. Some popular sensors do not fit this family, and we would rather tell you now than have you buy the wrong part. The AutoAqua Smart ATO Micro, Lite G2, and nano are square. The Innovative Marine HydroFill and HydroFill Ti are flat blocks. The XP Aqua Duetto 2 puts two sensors in one housing. The Red Sea ReefATO+ comes on its own magnet bracket. Tunze publishes no size at all for the 3152.300. The CoralVue HYDROS float lists one size, but that size may be the collar that moves rather than the fixed stem, so we will not build to it. This is a bracket. It holds a sensor at the height you set. We make no claim about flood prevention or about how your top off system behaves. This part rides at the tank or sump wall, up at the water line. We print it in PETG, a tough plastic. Keep it out of direct sun, since sun wears down any plastic over time.
This is a new product. We print-test every part before it ships.

A note on safety
We print every part in PETG. It is the material aquarium keepers have used submerged for years. We cannot promise how any part performs in your tank. You know your tank and your animals best, so the call is always yours. Rinse each part in clean water before you add it to your tank.
