The FSW-40A and FSW-50
Series flow switches feature
15 A SPDT switches and an
internal screw adjustment for in-line
monitoring of switch points. Multiple
drag disks provide incremental
switch point adjustment. Their
non-magnetic design makes these
switches ideal for applications in
which rust is a problem. The
FSW-40A Series has a brass
and stainless steel construction,
while the FSW-50 Series comes in
a plastic/316 SS construction.
The FSW-40A Series is ideal
for machine-cutting oils and for
sewage applications in which large
objects are not caught on the drag
disks. Installation “T” fittings are
recommended for installing switches
for 2" pipe size and below. For other
pipe sizes, a “tee” fitting or weld
coupling can be used.
