Flotect Model V10 and V11 FLOTECT® Mini-Size Flow Switch

Designed to provide an inexpensive, reliable unit to monitor the presence or absence of flow in a system. The V10 and V11 flow switches are used to monitor unattended equipment and protect it from costly damage. The V10 flow switch utilizes a rugged, hermetically sealed reed switch which is encapsulated in a polypropylene switch housing that fits into a standard heavy duty leak proof brass body or optional 303 Stainless Steel body. The patented switch adjustment allows the user to change the switch to Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) in the field merely by loosening two screws. The switch housing is located outside the process media, making switch change-over or maintenance easy without interruption of process flow.

The V11 Flotect® flow switch takes our very popular V10 design and adds rugged, integral electrical wiring. The one-piece PBT switch housing snaps onto the body and the wiring is epoxy sealed making the switch weatherproof, meeting NEMA 4 standards. The 22 AWG cable used is UV resistant, flame retardant, and comes standard 6 feet in length. This unique design eliminates the need for running conduit between the switch and panel, lowering installation costs.
