Series 1000 & 2000 FLO-GARD™ Inline Flow Switches

Differential Pressure Orifice Type, Liquids & Gases

DESCRIPTION
FLO-GARD™ flow switches provide economical solutions for equipment protection and automation.

All FLO-GARD™ flow switches provide high reliability design with no paddles or small flow paths to plug or stick. Switches are suitable for measuring oil and water containing contaminates. Switches may also be selected for gases.

A wide range of sizes and materials provides optimal selection. Choose one or two field adjustable switch set points from 0.5 gallons per hour (1/2”) to 3000 GPM (8”). All switches are independently adjustable from 15% to 100% of range.

A maintenance-free design, FLO-GARD™ flow switches operate on the differential pressure principle (bellows sensors) and have no bearing or sliding surfaces to corrode and stick. Normal maintenance is NOT required.

The switches have a low installation cost. FLO-GARD™ flow switches include a terminal strip and splash-proof junction box for making field connections, eliminating the cost of providing a field junction box.
