NEW AQUATHERM FLOW SWITCH WELL
To aid in mounting flow switches and other sensors onto Aquatherm pipe, Aquatherm has developed a new fusion outlet fitting to accommodate the larger paddle and/or sensor dimensions. The new fusion outlet configuration provides for a larger internal diameter, and shorter overall length. This allows flow switches with wider paddles or sensors with shorter elements, to be installed using a standard fusion outlet x threaded connection.
The new configuration consists of a standard fusion outlet connection, and standard threaded connection, in the following combinations.
Main Pipe Size | Fusion Outlet Size/Head | Threaded Connection | Part Number |
---|---|---|---|
2 – 2-1/2 inch | 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 (75 x 40mm) | 1-1/4 in FPT | 0115175+0621116 |
3 – 4 inch | 4 x 1-1/2 (125 x 50mm) | 1-1/2 in FPT | 0115197+0621118 |
6 inch and larger | 6 x 2 (160 x 63mm) | 2 in FPT | 0115216+0621120 |
When using this new part one needs to verify that the paddle has a minimum length of 3-1/2”.
At present, these will be special-order items fabricated at the Aquatherm headquarters in Lindon, UT on an as ordered basis.
