Series SW signals the open or closed valve position for computer verification or to actuate other equipment based on the valve position.
Body material is PVC, seals are BUNA-N, and the assembly fasteners are stainless steel and can be shielded from the atmosphere if necessary. Of course none of these materials in the Limit Switch are in contact with the process liquid.
The Limit Switch has a camshaft and two single-pole double throw switches. A signal line is wired "through" the switch to the equipment or computer being signaled. A 1/2" NPT conduit fitting seals the wiring connection. AC resistive load rating is 10 amps for each contact. DC loads are rated for 60W (5A at 12 VDC, 2.5A at 24 VDC).
The switches make contact when the valve is either open or closed. The open position of the True Blue ball valve is adjustable for throttling by using the optional Series LS Limit Stop. Series SW Limit Switch is also adjustable to accommodate the throttle open position.
The limit switch is simply mounted to the actuator by two screws. These screws are sealed inside the unit. The photo above left shows the Limit Switch mounted on an air by spring actuator. The illustration above right shows what the Limit Switch looks like on an air by air actuator.

Series LMBV --Lateral Reducing Ball Valve -- Explanatory page for lateral reducingball valves which simplify lateral connections.
Series Z-Vent MBV --Vented Ball Valve for Sodium Hypochlorite -- Vented ball valve for sodium hypochloriteand other applications prone to outgassing.
Series LS --Limit Stops -- For use with actuated ball valves.
Air-Operated Diaphragm Valves and Globe Valves-Perhaps your application requires more rapid shut-off, or you want to use line pressure to open the valve, or have other reasons you don't specifically want a ball valve. If so, True Blue ASO, BSD, or BSR is likely to meet your needs.
Online Pressure DropCalculator -- Allows you to easily determine the probable pressuredrop across a valve. Note: For comparison and illustrative purposesonly; not to be relied on for system design.
