Robinhood Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You will probably have to determine the model (and make) of your tap, as many (most?) have specific microswitches by model. For Hymer, I would suspect it is a Reich tap, and using Mr Google with "Reich Microswitch" pulls up a large number of suppliers. If you likewise search for "Reich Tap" you may well be able to determine the model from images, and thereby narrow the search to the exact switch you require.

terryW Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you havn't done it yet I suggest you try removing the old one first. My only attempt resulted in replacement taps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Some lever taps on Hymers from my experience have sharp metal inside which can cut through the wires which go to the microswitch. Take the tap to pieces and see if this is the case before you invest in a microswitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter James Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 maplin.co.uk have a range of microswitches. (I have fitted one inside each door so when the door handle is pulled it sets off the alarm, irrespective of whether the door is locked or opened) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 As tap micro switches are known to often fail I fitted a relay in line with the pump to take the load off the switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
