The V8 Flotect® Flow Switch has a leak proof body and vane constructed of tough durable polyphenylene sulfide which has excellent chemical resistance. The full size trimmable vane is provided with molded-in graduations allowing for installation in a 1 inch through 6 inch pipe. Operating pressures are up to 150 psig (10 bar) and temperatures to 212°F (100°C). The V8 flow switch can be used in various chemical processes, industrial systems and similar applications where process conditions are compatible with polyphenylene sulfide, ceramic 8 and 316SS. The V8 Flotect® flow switch is UL recognized as an industrial motor controller per UL standard 508, suitable for mounting in a protected environment.
