Dwyer Flotect V6 Low-Flow Switches is available in both a standard flow & a field adjustable low-flow design. Surprisingly compact, the Flotect V6 Flow Switch is engineered specifically to monitor liquid, gas, or air flows in pipelines from 1/2″ to 2″ diameter.
With bushings added, it is easily adapted to 1/4″ and 3/8″ piping. It is solidly built and designed for years of trouble-free service on critical operations. The brass or stainless steel bar stock lower body is leakproof, preventing the pipeline product from entering the switch housing above. There is no mechanical linkage – the flow switch is magnetically actuated and explosion-proof.
The lower body holds the flow vane and one magnet which controls the switch actuating magnet in separate housing above. Maintenance is easy. The entire electrical assembly can be removed for inspection or replacement without shutting down the pipeline. A low flow version of the V6 is available which provides field adjustment of the actuation flow point.
Installation is also easy. Simply insert the tee in the pipeline and complete the electrical and conduit connections. The Flotect V6 is U.L. and C.S.A. listed for explosion-proof service – Class I, Groups A, B, C & D and Class II, Groups E, F and G. The C.S.A. and CENELEC models must be furnished with an explosion-proof junction box for wiring connections. Group A, stainless steel body only. *With bushings, adapts to 1/4″ and 3/8″.
