Dwyer Instruments L8 Switch
The Dwyer Instruments L8 Flotect is a rugged, horizontal mounting liquid level switch designed for reliable point level detection in demanding HVACR and industrial environments. Featuring a leak-proof polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) body and float, this unit offers exceptional chemical resistance, making it compatible with water, oils, and various organic solvents. The magnetically actuated SPDT snap switch eliminates direct mechanical linkage, significantly reducing the risk of component fatigue or leakage at the process connection. Rated for a 150 psig pressure limit and temperatures up to 212°F, the L8 is a versatile solution for pump control, low-level alarms, and cooling tower automation.
Installation is streamlined via the 1" male NPT process connection and 1/2" male NPT conduit connection. To ensure accurate setpoint control, the switch must be oriented horizontally with the index arrow pointing downward. This lightweight yet durable float level switch is UL recognized under standard 508 as an industrial motor controller, providing a dependable interface for Building Automation Systems (BAS). Its compact design is optimized for clean media with specific gravities as low as 0.6, ensuring consistent performance across diverse fluid processing applications.
Key Benefits
- Chemical Resistance: PPS construction ensures compatibility with corrosive fluids and prevents scale buildup.
- Magnetic Actuation: No mechanical seals or linkages to wear out, ensuring a long operational life in high-cycle applications.
- Ease of Integration: Standard SPDT snap switch allows for both normally open and normally closed wiring configurations.
- High Pressure Rating: Proven 150 psi limit suitable for pressurized holding tanks and industrial scrubber systems.
- Compact Footprint: Ideal for tight plumbing runs in HVAC/R equipment and thermal storage systems.
Common Questions
How do I ensure the L8 switch is oriented correctly during installation?
The unit features an index arrow on the side of the housing. For the SPDT snap switch to function properly, the arrow must point directly downward in a horizontal orientation.
What are the limitations regarding fluid compatibility?
While the polyphenylene sulfide body is highly resistant to chemicals, the media must be clean and free of heavy debris or scale that could physically obstruct the internal float movement.
Can the L8 be used in outdoor or washdown environments?
The standard L8 features a general-purpose enclosure. For applications requiring moisture protection, a weatherproof junction box should be installed over the conduit stem, or the WP suffix version should be utilized.
