4-15 PRESSURE OPERATED SWITCHES
Pressure operated switches must be connected to the pilot piping or discharge manifolds as
shown in Figure 4-25 and Figure 4-26. The preferred mounting position is upright. Both the
standard and explosion-proof pressure switches have 1/2-inch NPT pressure inlets to connect
to the piping. The electrical connections are either 1/2-inch conduit knockouts or 1-inch NPT
fittings. The minimum operating pressure required is 50 PSI.
