    Avoid complicated inline installation—these flow switches insert into a tee or pipe outlet, so you don’t need to disassemble your pipeline. They have a paddle that’s pushed as your liquid moves through to determine flow. When the paddle reaches a set position determined by the set point, it activates or deactivates equipment. They are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can either turn one device from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). They should be mounted vertically into a large-diameter horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle.
    These flow switches are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.
    Choose a fitting material that is compatible with the liquid you're running through your line.
    316 Stainless Steel Body and Brass Body—Switches with a brass or 316 stainless steel body have multiple paddles you can choose between to get you closest to your set point. For a higher set point, loosen the locking washers to remove the largest paddles. You can also trim the paddles to fine-tune your set point. The more you trim, the higher the set point.
    Noryl Body—Switches with a Noryl body have a paddle that you trim to adjust the set point. The more you trim, the higher the set point.
    Socket-Connect Fitting Connection—Socket-connect flow switches bond to an unthreaded PVC pipe tee or pipe outlet with PVC cement and primer (not included).
    316 Stainless Steel Fitting and Brass Fitting—Brass and 316 stainless steel fittings resist impact better than Noryl fittings.
    Noryl Fitting—Noryl fittings work with a wide range of chemicals.
    IP65 Enclosure Rating—IP65 rated switches seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.
    NEMA 4X Enclosure Rating—NEMA 4X rated switches protect against dust, weather, and washdowns.

    Hazardous-Location Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. Hazardous-Location Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    Safely activate and deactivate equipment in environments with flammable gases and combustible dust when your flow rate reaches a set point. They are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. These switches save you from disassembling your pipeline because you insert them into pipe tees or pipe outlets instead of mounting them inline. They actuate when your system’s liquid pushes the paddle into a set position. To change your set point, the paddle has multiple layers that you can remove. For the lowest set point, use the largest paddle that will fit your pipe. To increase your set point, loosen the locking washers and remove paddles. You can trim the paddles to fine-tune your set point. The smaller the paddle, the higher the setpoint.
    They should be mounted vertically into a horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle.
    These switches are calibrated with water and air. They can also be used with other liquids and gases but may not measure accurately if their viscosity is significantly different.
    SPDT—SPDT (singe pole, double throw) switches can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).
    DPDT—DPDT (double pole, double throw) switches can either turn two devices from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed).

    Fixed-Set-Point Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. Fixed-Set-Point Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    Easy to install, these flow switches come already set to a specific set point and don’t require you to disassemble your pipeline. Instead of mounting them inline, insert them into an unthreaded PVC pipe tee or pipe outlet in large-diameter pipe. They have a paddle that’s pushed as your liquid moves through to determine flow. When the paddle reaches a set position determined by the set point, it activates or deactivates equipment. All are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can either turn one device from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). IP rated, they seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.
    They should be mounted vertically into a horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle. Secure them with PVC cement and primer (not included).
    These flow switches are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.

    Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flow Switches. Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    Instead of disassembling your system for inline installation, thread these flow switches onto a mounting adapter (sold separately) and insert them into a pipe tee or pipe outlet. They send digital signals to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate automated controls or alarms when they reach a set flow rate. To calculate the flow rate, they generate a small amount of heat, then measure the cooling effect your liquid or gas has on it. This makes them ideal in applications with fluctuating temperatures. Use the buttons on the display to adjust the set point and other settings. These switches are accurate in any mounting position.
    IP65 rated switches protect against dust and washdowns. IP67 rated switches withstand temporary submersion.

    Monitor the level of dry material in surge bins, tanks, and silos to avoid overspills and outages. With a long paddle, these switches extend farther into large storage containers to detect material levels where other types of switches can’t reach. You can even adjust the paddle's sensitivity to materials of different sizes and shapes, such as powders, plastic pellets, and wood chips. Install multiple switches on the same container to monitor levels at various points. They are rated NEMA 4X and IP66 for protection from corrosion and washdowns.
    Horizontal Mount—Commonly installed near the bottom of containers to indicate low levels as material flows out. These switches start to rotate when material falls low enough to uncover the paddle, triggering a conveyor, pump, or other piece of equipment to prevent the container from emptying.
    Vertical Mount—Mount to the roof of containers to indicate high levels when loading material. For domed roofs, you can extend these switches farther down by connecting the paddle to your desired length of 1/8 NPT Schedule 40 pipe. The paddle rotates freely until material rises to its level and stops it, triggering a conveyor, pump, or other piece of equipment to prevent overfilling.
    With Alarm—Switches with an alarm alert you to potential malfunctions before they occur. They continuously perform self-diagnostics to detect everything from motor failure to seized bearings. When they detect an error, an LED light flashes in a corresponding code, so maintenance workers will immediately know which problem they need to fix.

    Replacements for Paddle Level Switches

    Sanitary Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flow Switches. Sanitary Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    Easy to clean and install, these flow switches are 3-A certified to meet sanitary design standards and insert into your line with a quick-clamp mounting adapter (sold separately). They have a smooth probe, and unlike flow switches that measure with a paddle or turbine, these don’t have moving parts for contaminants to get stuck in. Rated IP67 and IP69K, they withstand temporary submersion and high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns. The mounting adapter attaches to a quick-clamp tube tee or outlet (often called tri-clamp fittings) in your large-diameter tubing system using a gasket and clamp (not included), so you don't need to disassemble your line for inline installation. This mounting adapter is also easy to remove and clean.
    They send digital signals to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate automated controls or alarms when they reach a set flow rate. To calculate the flow rate, they generate a small amount of heat, then measure the cooling effect your liquid or gas has on it. This makes them ideal in applications with fluctuating temperatures. Use the buttons on the display to adjust the set point and other settings. They’re accurate in any mounting position.
