Products Description
FM Approved Thread Type Fire Water Flow Switch
FM Approved Thread Type Water Flow Sensor is a critical component in modern fire protection systems, designed to detect water movement in sprinkler piping networks and trigger alarms or control panel signals during emergencies. Certified by FM Global, a leading authority in industrial risk management, this sensor combines robust construction with advanced technology to ensure reliable performance in high-stakes environments. Its threaded connection design simplifies installation, while its compliance with stringent safety standards makes it a trusted choice for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
FM Approval & Certification
The sensor meets FM Global's rigorous testing protocols, including thermal stability, pressure resistance (up to 175 PSI), and corrosion resistance. It also adheres to UL/ULC and CE standards, ensuring global compatibility with fire safety codes such as NFPA 13 and NFPA 72.
Threaded Connection Design
Equipped with 1"–2" NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings, the sensor integrates seamlessly into steel, copper, or CPVC piping systems. This design eliminates the need for specialized adapters, reducing installation time and minimizing leakage risks.
Vane-Type Flow Detection Mechanism
A precision-engineered vane (or paddle) extends into the water stream. When flow exceeds 10 GPM (38 L/min), the vane pivots, activating a microswitch to send an electrical signal. This mechanism ensures rapid detection while avoiding false alarms caused by minor pressure fluctuations.
