Dwyer V6EPB-B-S-5-B Flowtect Flow Switch 2000 Psi

Product Description

The DWYER V6EPB-B-S-5-B is a Flowtect flow switch rated for systems operating up to 2,000 psi, built around a brass housing for compatibility with water and compatible fluid systems. Flow switches of this type detect the presence or absence of flow through a pipeline and trigger a signal to downstream controls or alarms when flow drops below or rises above the set threshold. This unit is rated for a flow range of 6/5 GPM, making it well-suited for low-to-moderate flow monitoring applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service professionals typically install this device inline during system commissioning or when replacing a failed switch in an existing installation.

This flow switch is intended for inline piping installations where flow detection or flow proving is required. Common applications include chilled water systems, cooling tower circuits, boiler feed lines, and industrial process piping where confirming adequate flow protects downstream equipment such as pumps, chillers, or heat exchangers. The 2,000 psi pressure rating supports use in higher-pressure piping systems where lower-rated switches would not be appropriate. The 6/5 GPM flow rate rating indicates the unit is calibrated for relatively low flow volumes typical of residential and light commercial systems.

Key Features

• 2,000 psi maximum pressure rating for use in demanding piping systems
• Brass housing provides durability and compatibility with common water-based system fluids
• 6/5 GPM flow rate range for accurate detection in low-to-moderate flow applications
• Inline installation design integrates into standard piping runs without major modification
• Single-unit packaging suitable for direct replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flow switch for inline piping systems requiring flow detection up to 2,000 psi with a brass housing and 6/5 GPM flow range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before removing any existing switch or cutting into the line. Verify flow direction markings on the switch body and orient the unit accordingly during installation. Do not exceed the rated 2,000 psi operating pressure or the specified flow range for this device.
