FLO-GARD™ RCM INLINE FLOW SWITCHES

RCM Flow SwitchRCM's broad range of flow switches provide economical solutions for equipment protection and automation.

Our general purpose Flo-Gard II flow switches (liquid) reed switches make or break contacts by detecting the position of a magnet permanently attached to the bellow. Our reed switches can also be ordered for use in hazardous location (Option IS), when fitted with LED's (Option LED) it provides viewing at a glance when flow rate goes below or above the set point and makes field calibration easy.

Wide range of sizes and materials for 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.

Maintenance-free Design
FLO-GARD™ flow switches operate on the differential pressure principle and have no bearing or sliding surfaces to corrode and stick. Normal maintenance is NOT required.

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.
