Model 51

Single Limit Switch

The Model 51 Single Limit Switch provides visual indication of 

valve position, as well as remote electrical indication of "valve 

open" or "valve closed". The single pole double throw Micro-

Switch can be connected to open or close an electrical circuit 

when the valve opens or closes.
The adjustable collar is normally set to contact the trip arm when 

the main valve is closed. The collar can be positioned on the stem 

by loosening the set-screw to actuate the switch at the desired 

point of valve travel.
