LPH Flow Switch

Taking our popular LPH Series non-adjustable flow switch as an example, when air/water flows through the unit it causes the magnetic piston to move up at the calibration point. This displacement is caused by the pressure differential from the air/water flowing through the unit. The magnetic piston actuates a hermetically sealed reed switch, which is encapsulated in the body of the unit, out of the media wetted flow path. Decreasing the flow below the calibration point causes the reed switch to de-actuate.

The LPH series is a fixed set point flow switch that has a predetermined calibration point, designed to act primarily as either an air flow switch or water flow switch.
