The Series V8 Flotect
®
Vane Operated Flow Switches are ideal for protecting
unattended equipment from damage or loss of production. This Series is available for
installation in a 1 to 6˝ pipe with operating pressures are up to 150 psig (10 bar) and
temperatures to 212°F (100°C).
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• UL recognized as an industrial motor controller per UL standard 508, suitable for
mounting in a protected environment
• Magnetically actuated switching design gives superior performance with free-
swinging vane which attracts a magnet within the switch body, actuating a snap
switch with no bellows, springs, or seals to fail
• Leak proof body and vane constructed of tough durable polyphenylene sulde which
has excellent chemical resistance
• A full size trimmable vane is provided with molded-in graduations
APPLICATIONS
• Chemical processing
• Air conditioning
• Refrigeration
• Heating systems
• Cooling lines
• Machinery
• Liquid transfer systems
• Water treatment
• Food processing
• Machine tools
