Brake line pressure switch question

[samdjr74]

Hi All,

I just got around to plumbing the rear brake lines today. I installed a pressure switch for the brake lights as well as the TC lock up. My question is does the switch need to mount in a certain position? Meaning can the round pressure switch with the hook ups mount on it's side or does it need to have the contacts pointing up? Obviusly the electrical asspect will work in any position but what about the pressure on the switch from the brake fluid?

Thanks,
Sam

Pressure sealed switch, can be mounted in any position, just keep away from heat.

Great, thanks. I should be ok with heat.

On motorcycles I mount them upside down so that any air bubble is in the line part of the T. Makes it easier to bleed, but they can be mounted in any direction.
