FLOW RATES
Flow rates required to activate the flow switch
are shown in chart below.These values were
calculated using clean water in a horizontal pipe.

INSTALLATION –
STEP 1 - Determine the Location of the Flow Switch
• The flow switch should be located in a horizontal
section of pipe where there is a straight horizontal
run of at least 5 pipe diameters on each side of the
flow switch.
• The flow switch must be installed in the upright
position as shown with arrow mark on side of casting
in the same direction as fluid will flow.
• Some system conditions that require more than 5
pipe diameters are high viscosity fluid and high fluid
velocity.
