F261 Series Fluid Flow Switches

Code No. LIT-1900948

Description

The F261 Series Flow Switches respond to fluid flow in lines carrying water, ethylene glycol, or other nonhazardous fluids. These models also work in applications with swimming pool water and lubricating oils.

F261 Series Standard Flow Switches use a variety of paddle sizes to respond to fluid flow rates in applications with pipe sizes greater than 1 inch trade size.

Refer to the F261 Series Fluid Flow Switches Product Bulletin (LIT-12011987) for important product application information.

Features

• Type 3R (NEMA) or Type 4 (NEMA) e

nclosure allows use in indoor or outdoor

applications.

• Viton® diaphragms allow use in fluid line

rying chlorinated water, treated water,

car or other nonhazardous fluids.

• low-flow operation on low-flow

ctuates switch with less t

1.0 GPM (3.8 L/min) flow for water a

pplications or 9.0 GPM (34.1 L/min) flow

for steam applications.

• maximum fluid pressure of 290 ps (

20 bar) permits use in a wide range

ressure flow conditions.
