    Back Pivot with 1 Pedal

    Center Pivot with 1 Pedal

    Keep your hands free for other tasks by triggering switches with your foot.
    2 Speeds—Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, push the pedal halfway to close the first contact; for high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
    Back—Back-pivot switches actuate with a tap of the toe.
    Center—Center-pivot switches let you control two circuits with a single foot—one with your toe and one with your heel. Also known as rocker switches, they can be pressed either forward or backward, meaning you actuate one circuit at a time.

    Hang these free-floating switches in your tank for water-level monitoring that doesn’t require installation through a tank wall.
