High-sensitivity paddle-type water flow switch for sale, with a high-strength nylon or PBT plastic housing. The set flow range is 0.75–3 L/min, with a maximum flow capacity of 5–15 L/min (at 10 PSI pressure drop). It accurately detects water flow changes with a setting precision of ±10%. The flow switch supports G3/4'' standard mounting threads with S.P.S.T. contact configuration. Suitable for clean water or other standard liquid environments, it offers flexible vertical or horizontal installation.
The paddle-type water flow switch functions by utilizing water flow to drive the displacement of its internal paddle. When the flow reaches the preset value, the paddle activates internal magnetic or mechanical contacts, thereby generating a switch signal. Typically featuring a single-pole single-throw (SPST) structure, they are commonly available in normally open or normally closed configurations. Contacts automatically reset when water flow ceases or drops below the preset value.
Paddle-type water flow switches are widely used in water heaters, wall-mounted boilers, central air conditioning circulation systems, pump protection systems, and industrial cooling equipment. They trigger equipment operation when the flow reaches the set value, preventing dry running or dry heating. Additionally, this product supports horizontal or vertical installation, accommodating various pipe orientations. Note that the medium should be clean water or low-impurity liquids to avoid sensitivity issues caused by sediment or debris buildup.
When selecting a model, focus on interface dimensions (e.g., G1/2, G3/4), start-up flow range, maximum operating pressure, and electrical parameters (voltage, current, power). Verify that the system flow rate falls within the specified range to prevent failure to activate due to insufficient flow or damage from excessive flow. Install vertically or horizontally following the arrow direction to ensure correct flow orientation and avoid strong magnetic fields that could interfere with internal magnetic components. Regularly inspect seals and mounting integrity to effectively extend service life.
