Mounting

All gas pressure switches must be mounted in a

horizontal position with the inlet stem down. Switches

should be reasonably level but do not require accurate

leveling.
Single gas switch models have a 1/4” NPT gas inlet.
Double combination Hi-Lo switches have a 3/8” NPT for

high pressure inlet and a 1/8” NPT for low pressure inlet.
Gas vent outlets are 1/8” NPT on all models.
Piping can be either standard black pipe or aluminum

tubing.
All switches can be supported by the inlet pipe, but

optional mounting brackets are available if needed.
All switches have been factory-calibrated and tested

for leaks. However, it is recommended that after the

installation is completed, switch, gas pipe inlets, and

connections be tested for leaks with a soap bubble test.

Operation

Low Gas Pressure: Low gas pressure switches break

the electrical circuit on pressure drop at the point when

gas pressure becomes lower than the indicated set

pressure.
Before the manual reset latch can be properly latched,

gas pressure in the chamber must be higher than the

indicated setting. The position of the reset latch on the top

cover of the switch shows whether reset latch is in the on

or off position. Reset latch must be in “on” position after

latching to be properly set.
High Gas Pressure: High gas pressure switches break

the electrical circuit when pressure rises above the

indicated preset pressure. The reset latch should be

latched in the “on” position if the gas pressure in the

switch chamber is below the indicated high setting.
Recycle Models: High and Low Gas Pressure
Recycle models operate automatically and do not need to

be reset. Otherwise they are constructed, adjusted, and

operate in the same manner as the reset models.
Combination Models: The combination unit contains

one high pressure unit and one low pressure unit, in the

ranges you select. They may be either reset or recycle

type. Each unit has an on/off indicator and its own range

scale indicator.
