I saw these and decided to pick one up. It's stainless, so it's got that going for it. But I didn't notice it was a vertical switch until after I ordered it. I might have to get creative to mount it properly.

After I bought it I thought it out and I think it's probably not what I really ought to use. We'll see.

Bob just said something like, 'What's he going to DO with a set up like that?'. I just laughed and said, "BREW!"

I have a similar one that has a 90 degree bend which works very well. You might want to go that route. Brewtroller store sells them.

That's right! Nothing important at work now so I think I will go brew and work on the MLT's a bit.

I would like to upgrade the floats to stainless. The right angle style would work better for my setup. I could not seem to find the Brewtroller ones. Do you have a link or part number.

I think this is the one pickles was referring to:

BTW, very nice build. I like the HLT with the float switches. And 10K watts! That's awesome.

Thanks and thanks for the link. Just because we were discussing floats, my upper is sticking. I have a spare but I may just get a few stainless ones since that price is not so bad.

Gotta ask. Are your float switches for notification, or do you use them to control the heating elements and valves?

I have water plumbed in with a solenoid valve for pushbutton fill. So the upper float prevents overfill. The lower cuts out the elements.
