Flow Switch Plumbing Installation
NOTE: Pressure at the flow switch can be reduced by eliminating plumbing restrictions including reductions in pipe diameter
downstream of the flow switch.
On the F21 paddle style flow switch, the paddle must be trimmed to allow it to fit into the plumbing. The paddle should be trimmed
so that it is as long as possible, but not closer than 4 mm (.160”), to the pipe walls when installed. A longer paddle length will increase
flow switch sensitivity and therefore water delivery at low power conditions. Additional installation instructions including mounting
orientation, paddle trimming, other plumbing requirements, etc. are included with the flow switch. Follow the installation instructions
included with the packaging of the flow switch for installation and maintenance information.
WARNING
Hazardous Pressure Present: Pressure at the flow switch must be limited according to the water temperature that the flow
switch will see in service. Note that this includes the temperature that the water could reach due to heating by the surrounding
environment. Pressure at the flow switch must be limited according to the following table.
