Johnson Controls WGT11A-600R Weight & Cable

The Johnson Controls WGT11A-600R is a specialized weight and cable assembly engineered specifically for the F59 Series liquid level switches. As a critical component for sump pump control and open tank monitoring, this kit provides the mechanical interface necessary to actuate electric motors based on liquid level fluctuations. The assembly includes a 3-foot polyethylene cable and two precision-calibrated weights designed to trigger the switch: cutting in when the upper weight is approximately halfway submerged and cutting out when the lower weight is half-exposed. This ensures reliable on/off pump operation without the erratic cycling common in poorly calibrated float systems.

For professional contractors, the WGT11A-600R serves as the direct PENN replacement part for worn or waterlogged float components. Proper installation is vital; the weights must be positioned so they hang freely within the sump or tank to prevent mechanical interference. This HVACR control accessory is built for durability in demanding environments, maintaining operational integrity in temperatures up to 150?F (66?C). Integrating this genuine Johnson Controls part ensures your sump pump systems maintain factory-spec sensitivity and timing, preventing overflow or dry-run conditions in commercial and industrial plumbing applications.

Key Benefits

• Direct Compatibility: Specifically designed for the Johnson Controls F59 Series, ensuring seamless integration with existing liquid level controls.
• Chemical Resistance: Features a high-density 36-inch polyethylene cable, providing superior resistance to corrosion in sump and wastewater environments.
• Precise Actuation: The dual-weight system allows for adjustable pump turn-on and turn-off levels, optimizing motor performance and energy efficiency.
• Rugged Construction: Engineered to withstand rigorous daily use in industrial tank monitoring and commercial basement drainage.

Common Questions

How do I set the pump turn-on and turn-off points using this kit?
The pump start level is determined by the position of the upper weight (cut-in point), while the stop level is controlled by the lower weight (cut-out point). By adjusting the knots or holders on the 3-foot cable, you can customize the displacement required to actuate the F59 switch lever.

Can these weights be used in high-temperature tanks?
The WGT11A-600R is rated for fluid temperatures up to 150?F (66?C). For applications exceeding this range, specialized monel cable kits may be required to maintain structural integrity and prevent cable failure.

What happens if the weights become waterlogged or cracked?
If the weight housing is compromised, it will lose its specific buoyancy, failing to actuate the switch lever hook. This kit is the standard field-replaceable solution to restore automatic sump operations.
