LR06 Paddle Style Float
The LR06 is a robust submersible float switch specifically engineered for oily environments and prolonged exposure to diesel oil. Offering superior chemical resistance compared to the LR03, it provides reliable long-term operation in challenging conditions.
To withstand the aggressive effects of diesel oils, the LR06 is constructed with a polyurethane (PUR) cable and a polypropylene float chamber. Unlike PVC or CPE, which degrade when exposed to hydrocarbons, PUR and polypropylene maintain their integrity, ensuring durability and dependable performance.
For easy identification in the field, the LR06 features a distinctive orange band and matching orange cable, preventing confusion with other float switches of similar size and design. Simple to install and designed for trouble-free service, the LR06 is ideally suited to fuel storage, oily water separators, and other dieselcontaminated liquid applications.

Important — please read
Please ensure the product you are ordering is the correct size and suitable for the purpose. Special order, bespoke and non-stock tanks are not returnable. If you order a tank and find it is too big, too small, or unsuitable for your requirements, it can be expensive to return. Our cancellation & returns policy explains this in more detail — see Terms & Conditions.

Looking to avoid shipping charges?
All our tanks are available for collection ex works. Our suppliers are based all over the UK — please call if you wish to collect.
Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
Please call if you have any questions: +44 (0)1643 703358

We recommend that installers, plant hire and installation materials — excavators, aggregates and so on — are not booked until you are in receipt of the goods. Tanks Direct cannot be held responsible for costs incurred due to unforeseen delays; please see our terms for more details.
