Product Description
The Outside Screw & Yoke Valve Supervisory Switch from JHY Valve Parts provides intelligent monitoring of open positions for Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y) gate valves.
This switch mounts externally on the valve yoke to detect position without interfering with normal operation. Adjustable travel range allows switch activation within two revolutions of the valve stem or when stem deviates one-fifth from the normal position.
Housed in a rugged, weatherproof die cast metal enclosure, the OSY switch offers a side 1⁄2" conduit entrance and facilities for valve attachment. Grounding provisions are provided. Dual SPDT contacts rated 10A at 125/250VAC and 2.5A at 24VDC allow flexible control logic.
The tamper-resistant cover ensures security. UL listed and FM approved, JHY's Outside Screw & Yoke Valve Supervisory Switch delivers reliable monitoring for OS&Y valves in indoor or outdoor applications.
