used for this may result in unintended discharges caused by surges air or short retard times Information Model VSR SG is a vane type waterflow switch for use on wet systems using CPVC plastic fittings manufactured by Tyco Victaulic Ipex and Spears Manufacturing Company that use 1 1 or 2 pipe sizes It is equipped with a union to accommodate in confined spaces VSR SG contains two single pole double throw snap action and an adjustable instantly recycling pneumatic retard The are actuated when a flow of 10 GPM 38 LPM or more downstream of the switch The flow condition must exist for a of time necessary to overcome the selected retard period VSR Sg switches and retard switch are enclosed in a general die cast housing The cover is held in place with two tamper screws which require a special key for removal A field cover tamper switch is available as an option which may used to indicate unauthorized removal of the cover See bulletin 5401103 for installation instructions of this switch see Fig 1 3 and 5 switches may be mounted on horizontal or vertical pipe On pipe they shall be installed on the top side of the pipe where will be accessible The switch should not be installed within 6 cm
