Water 40-60 PSI Pressure Switch – FanWayer 1/4″ NPT Stainless

Description

Product Overview

The FanWayer Water 40-60 PSI Pressure Switch is engineered specifically for well pump applications where reliable pressure regulation is essential. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the switch offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life even in harsh water environments. The unit features a 1/4‑18 NPT female inlet, allowing seamless integration with standard well pump piping. Adjustable cut‑in (40 psi) and cut‑off (60 psi) settings provide precise control over pump activation, reducing wear and extending pump lifespan. With a compact footprint of 8.23 x 4.72 x 3.54 inches and a weight of just 1.79 lb, the switch is easy to install in both above‑ground and limited‑space configurations.

Usage

This pressure switch is ideal for residential well systems, small‑scale agricultural irrigation, and light commercial water supply setups. It works with electric‑driven centrifugal pumps, automatically turning the pump on when water pressure drops below the cut‑in threshold and shutting it off once the desired pressure is reached. The robust stainless steel housing protects internal components from mineral buildup and rust, making it suitable for both fresh and slightly brackish water sources. Install the switch in a dry, well‑ventilated area to maximize reliability, and connect the 1/4‑NPT female fitting to the pump’s pressure line using standard plumbing fittings. The switch’s adjustable range allows users to tailor performance to specific water demand patterns, whether for household daily use, garden irrigation, or livestock watering.

FAQ

What type of pumps is this pressure switch compatible with?

The switch is compatible with electric‑driven centrifugal well pumps that use a standard 1/4‑18 NPT pressure line. It works well with both single‑phase and three‑phase pump motors commonly found in residential and light commercial applications.

How do I adjust the cut‑in and cut‑off pressures?

Use the two adjustment screws on the side of the switch. Turn the cut‑in screw clockwise to raise the activation pressure and counter‑clockwise to lower it. The cut‑off screw works similarly, allowing you to set the shut‑off pressure within the 40‑60 psi range. Always power off the pump before making adjustments.

Is the switch suitable for use with water that contains minerals or mild salts?

Yes. The stainless steel construction is designed to resist corrosion from mineral deposits and mild saline water, making it a reliable choice for most well water conditions.

Can I install this switch outdoors?

While the switch can operate in outdoor environments, it is recommended to mount it in a sheltered, dry location to protect the electrical contacts from direct exposure to rain or excessive humidity.

What warranty does FanWayer offer for this product?

FanWayer provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues within the warranty period, contact FanWayer customer service for a replacement or repair.
