Warrick 178353 Switch
The Warrick 178353 is a high-performance Gems FS-380 flow switch engineered for precise liquid flow monitoring in high-pressure HVACR and industrial hydraulic systems. This inline flow switch features a 3/8" MPT connection and utilizes a rugged bronze housing to withstand demanding environments. Designed for simplicity and reliability, it employs a 9/16-18 UNF-2B straight thread port and incorporates a SPST hermetically sealed reed switch that actuates at a fixed 0.25 GPM flow rate. Contractors value the 178353 for its low pressure drop and its ability to operate in temperatures up to 212°F (100°C). Whether you are managing coolant loops, protecting pumps from dry-run conditions, or monitoring water-source heat pump flow, this liquid flow sensor provides consistent mechanical feedback without the complexities of electronic sensors. This specific Warrick flow switch configuration ensures seamless integration into HVAC chilled water systems and industrial lubrication lines where compact footprints and vertical or horizontal mounting flexibility are required.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed with a robust bronze body and ceramic magnet for long-term resistance to erosion and scaling in hydronic loops.
- Fixed Setpoint Accuracy: Factory-calibrated 0.25 GPM actuation point ensures critical flow detection for pump protection and safety interlocks.
- High Pressure Rating: Capable of handling operating pressures up to 1500 PSI, making it suitable for high-head industrial applications.
- Broad Compatibility: Standard 3/8" MPT flow switch threading allows for rapid field replacement and reduced downtime in existing piping manifolds.
Common Technical Questions
Can the Warrick 178353 be installed in any orientation?
While the 178353 can be mounted in horizontal or vertical runs, calibration is optimized for vertical installations with the flow moving upward. If installing horizontally, ensure the unit is kept away from magnetic interference to maintain reed switch sensitivity.
Does this switch handle debris-laden fluid?
This inline flow sensor utilizes a piston-style design. It is highly recommended to install a 50-micron strainer upstream to prevent particulates from fouling the internal piston movement.
How do I wire the switch into a control circuit?
The unit features two 18 AWG PVC-jacketed leads. As a dry-contact SPST switch, it should be wired in series with the load or used as a signal input for a PLC or Warrick liquid level controller.
