D= PIPE DIAMETER

• The flow switch should be located in a horizontal

section of pipe where there is a straight horizontal
run of at least 5 pipe diameters on each side of the
flow switch.

• The flow switch must be installed in the upright

position as shown with arrow mark on side of casting
in the same direction as fluid will flow.

• Some system conditions that require more than 5

pipe diameters are high viscosity fluid and high fluid
velocity.

NOTE: “L” models are set at the factory to prove flow at 1.7 gpm. The setpoint should not be adjusted in the
field without consulting factory.
