ASSEMBLY WARNING
THE FSW-50 SERIES SWITCHES EMPLOY AN EXTERNAL SEAL SHAFT (A) A FLEXIBLE ELASTOMER
DIAPHRAGM SEAL (B) AND AN INTERNAL FEED THRU SHAFT OR SWITCH ACTUATING ARM (D). ALL
THREE ELEMENTS ARE ASSEMBLED AND LOCKED IN PLACE WITH LOCTITE ADHESIVE. TO PREVENT
RUPTURE OF SEAL AND LEAKAGE INTO SWITCH AREA, IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT TORQUE
NOT BE APPLIED TO SEAL SHAFT (A), FLOAT SHAFT (E) OR DRAG DISK ARM (E) DURING CHANGE
OF FLOAT OR DRAG DISK.
IF FLOAT SHAFT OR DRAG DISK ARM (E) REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE
FILTER BOOT (F). SEAL SHAFT (A) MUST THEN BE HELD FIRMLY IN A VISE OR WITH PLIERS WHILE (E)
IS UNTHREADED AND A NEW SHAFT IS ASSEMBLED.
Installation
The FSW-50 Series Fluid Flow Switch is supplied with a 1 1 / 4 " x 1" PVC TT
bushing (standard construction model) or 1 1 / 4 " x 1" PPS* bushing (special
PPS* Hastelloy C and Viton construction model) threaded in place with 2
to 3 wraps of Teflon tape, which must be intact or renewed if bushing and
switch are separated before assembly in tank. Care must be exercised
when threading the bushing into plastic or metal fittings.
Apply a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 3 wraps of Teflon tape to
threads of bushing – this is especially important if unit is to be used in
metal fittings where coarse metal threads could gall plastic if not
lubricated.
The plastic bushing CAN BE CRACKED if the main body of the flow
switch is tightened into it FIRST. Cracking will not occur if the bushing is
FIRST tightened into the pipe or tank fitting and THEN the body is
tightened into the bushing.
