It’s common sense Daz. It just opens & closes a circuit. Just drill a hole in the side or top of the tank, whichever works best. The little white bit only moves slightly. Try it when it’s running. Test it horizontally & vertically & then decide where to put it. It may not work horizontally. Don’t put it in the lid.
If you can put it in the side of the tank make sure it’s not too high or low. Too low & you won’t fill your tank right up to the top. Too high & it could overflow. Same with the top of the tank.
I've sussed it! It works perfectly!👌 I just drop it vertically into the tank! The problem was the rubber surround needed to be pushed back!🙂👍
Just dropping it into the tank won’t guarantee it will shut off it could float on the surface and not shut off
Large wire coat hanger shaped to fit over top of lid hole and tape the float on the hook will do it!👍

I thought you wanted to see the forum die? Why are you posting here?
To wind you up and get a response got exactly that 😂
The Horizontal float switch is designed to go into the side of the tank approx 100mm below the max fill line as that gives room for the float to move and prevent the tank overfilling
The Black grommit seals the float into position and is pushed back to allow the float to move. When full the float will point up toward the top of the tank at approx 45 degree angle.
I am most intrigued at your novel approach though and if works as needed then power to the elbow Daz
Cheers
