Toro TFS Flow Sensors Sell Sheet

TFS SERIES

A durable yet cost-effective ﬂ ow sensing solution:

The Toro TFS series ﬂ ow sensors provide reliable ﬂ ow

information to aid in the detection of and response to

system issues like piping breaks, while being accurate

enough for tracking water usage.

Flow Sensors

CONTROLLER ACCESSORIES

Cost-effective plastic tee ﬂ ow sensors sized for lower-ﬂ ow applications.1/2” and 3/4” sensors allow you to accurately monitor ﬂ ows < 5 GPM

TFS-100 1”

VERSATILITY

Compatible with Competitor Controllers

PVC tee ﬂ ow sensors from ½” to 4” provide options for ﬂ ow measurement from 1.2 to 500 GPM, making these sensors ideal for residential, commercial, municipal, and sports ﬁ eld applications.

RELIABILITY

Durable, impeller-based sensor provides accurate ﬂ ow information. Potted design withstands the elements and provides options for valve box mounting or direct burial.

PEACE-OF-MIND

Coupled with the TMC-424 or one of Toro’s other ﬂ ow sensing control products, the TFS series provides a solution for the detection and isolation of system leaks or piping breaks, preventing washout or other damage.
