Surprisingly compact, the Series V6 Flotect®Flow Switch is engineered to specifically monitor liquid, gas, or airflows.
Operation is simple and dependable with no mechanical linkage as theflow switch is magnetically actuated. The lower body
holds the flow vane andone magnet, which controls the switch actuating magnet in the separate upperhousing. In most applications
the switch is normally off with the pipelineflow forcing the vane against the vane spring. As the flow decreases the vanespring pushes
back the vane, actuating the switch to signal an alarm orshutdown. Tees are available for installation in pipelines from 1/2″ to2″, with
bushings added the unit is easily adapted to 1/4″ and3/8″ piping.
