F001 Series
90-Degree angle flow switch 01

The F001 is a precision-machined, piston-type flow switch that provides unsurpassed durability and reliability. Its all brass or 316 stainless steel body is rated up to 1000 PSIG and features ¼” NPT inlet/outlet ports with a maximum viscosity of 500 SSU. In addition, the factory-calibrated flow switch settings range from 0.10 to 1.5 GPM in water.

Technology

Mechanical flow switches

F10: Force of liquid or gas flow against a vertical flow vane mounted in a line causes the vane to pivot to a horizontal position, moving an attraction sleeve into the field of a switch magnet. This pulls the magnet toward the sleeve and actuates the switch.

F50: The force of liquid flow through a valve body and against a flow disc causes it to lift out of the flow path. The attraction sleeve at the top of the disc assembly moves into the field of a switch magnet, attracting the magnet and actuating the switch.
