Potter Flow Switch – 1in Screw Connection – 25-50NB

Description

Flow switches are a critical part of any fire sprinkler system, and widely used throughout both commercial, residential and even domestic systems. Like pressure switches, they operate on a fairly basic principle – they open or close an electrical circuit when they are able to detect water moving through a pipe, as low as 15 litres per minute – and therefore they are extremely robust and reliable.

We offer Potter VSR vane-type switches from stock, available for all pipe sizes from 1”/25mm up to 8”/200mm. They are approved by LPCB, FM, UL, and they are CE-marked. To prevent false alarms due to small water movements, there is an adjustable retard of up to 30 seconds.

We use Potter VSR flow switches on all of our own assemblies – Zone Guardian remote flow switch test assembly, commercial flow test units, and residential/domestic valve sets.

Key features

• Adjustable retard to eliminate false alarms
• Threaded or U-bolt connection (see below)
• Twin contacts (both NO and NC) for ultimate flexibility
• IP54/NEMA-4 rated enclosure
