The FSW-40A and FSW-50 Series flow switches feature 15 A SPDT switches and an internal screw adjustment for in-line monitoring of switch points. Multiple drag disks provide incremental switch point adjustment. Their non-magnetic design makes these switches ideal for applications in which rust is a problem. The FSW-40A Series has a brass and stainless steel construction (optional 316 SS), while the FSW-50 Series comes in a plastic/316 SS construction.
The FSW-40A Series is ideal for machine-cutting oils and for sewage applications in which large objects are not caught on the drag disks. Installation “T” fittings are recommended for installing switches for 2' pipe size and below. For other pipe sizes, a “tee” fitting or weld coupling can be used.

Is there a way I can purchase some more sail options / longer sails to use with this product?
Thank you for your inquiry about the flow switches. If you are referring to spare parts, we have a Spare Parts Group that can advise on spare paddles, yet, it is limited to the pipe diameters available that flow switches can be installed. You may send an email to flow@omega.com for your request.

Are there special considerations that need to be taken in terms of: 1. Installation orientation 2. Distance from elbows/spools/valves
It can be mounted in any position. The pipe on which the Flow Switch is installed should have 5 Diameters before the flow switch and 2 Diameters after to reduce turbulent flow.
