Minimum specific gravity ratings apply only to
single stage units. Consult factory for two or
three stage units.

Models are limited to maximum temperature
rating of selected switch mechanism. See
Switch Mechanism Charts above.

Use caution when specifying carbon steel and stainless steel for tempera-
tures greater than +800° F (+427° C), as they become sensitized.

S75, V75 & Z75 contain 17–7 ph floats.

The O75 and P75 are not available with 1

" and 2" process connections.

Valid for Models V75 & Z75 only.

Consult factory for NEMA 4X/7/9 cast iron housings.

 

Process temperature based on +100° F (+38° C) ambient.

Drain or uncontrolled housing heater available in NEMA 4X/7/9 enclo-
sures. Consult factory for standard part number.

On steam applications, use Series 3 mercury switches with beaded leads.
On steam applications, use Series 2 vibration resistant mercury switches
with beaded leads.
HS and H1 switches can be used with materials of construction code 1
only on models S75, V75 & Z75.
On steam and other condensing applications, temperature down-rated to
+400° F (+204° C) process at +100° F (+38° C) ambient.
R series switches supplied in cast iron switch enclosures.
