At half the height of standard insertion flow switches, these are often installed in tees or pipe outlets in low-clearance areas. They’re installed in tees or pipe outlets to detect the flow rate of liquid in contact with the sensing paddle. They activate or deactivate equipment when the flow rate reaches your set point. Switches are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can be installed to turn one circuit from “off” to “on” (normally open). The flow rate varies based on the pipe size and the paddle length.

Maximum flow rate is how much water can temporarily flow through your pipe without damaging the switch.

Switches with a socket-weld connection are for use with unthreaded male pipe.

Switches with a trimmable paddle can be cut to fit a range of pipe sizes. Those with a 301 stainless steel paddle can be used with higher maximum flow rates than switches with a Noryl plastic paddle.
