Series V4 Flotect Vane-Operated Flow Switch

Brand: Dwyer Instruments, LLC
Does not ship to OH, United States
The Series V4 Flotect® Flow Switches are rugged and reliable, ideal for automatically protecting equipment and pipeline systems against damage from reduction or loss of flow.

Time tested in thousands of pipeline installations and processing plants around the world this Series is Weatherproof, designed to meet NEMA 4 and Explosion-proof (listing included in specifications).

This series can be used in pipes 1-1/2" (38.10 mm) and up.
Features
  • Unique magnetically actuated switching design gives superior performance
  • A free-swinging vane which attracts a magnet within the solid metal switch body, actuating a snap switch by means of a simple lever arm with no bellows, springs, or seals to fail
  • Leak proof body machined from bar stock
  • Electrical assembly can be easily replaced without removing the unit from installation so that the process does not have to be shut down
  • Installs directly and easily into pipeline with a thredolet, tee, or flange (see application drawings)
  • High pressure rating of 1,000 psig (69 bar) with the brass body and 2,000 psig (138 bar) with the 316 SS body
  • Choice of custom vane calibrated for your application, Model V4, or field adjustable multilayer vane, Model V4-2-U
