L4079A,B,W
PressureTrol® Limit Control
FEATURES
• L4079A has two ganged spst switches; breaks two
circuits (may be both sides of the power supply)
simultaneously.
• L4079B has one spst switch.
• L4079W is the same as L4079B but has seals for oil
applications.

• MICRO SWITCH
through transparent cover.
• Switches open automatically but must be reset
manually.
• Trip-free reset mechanisms do not permit the limiting
role of the PressureTrol
jamming the reset lever.
• Control does not need leveling.
• The L4079 is unaffected by moderate vibration.

PRODUCT DATA
APPLICATION
The L4079A,B, and W PressureTrol® Limit Controls are high
pressure limit switches that break electrical circuits when
pressure rises to a preset value.
The L4079A and B can be used with steam, air,
noncombustible gases, and fluids noncorrosive to the sensing
element.
L4079W is for use on oil burner systems.
