Potter VSR Series Vane Type Waterflow Switch VSR-4 with Retard, 4" Pipe
Know the moment water starts flowing.
The Potter VSR-4 is a vane type waterflow alarm switch with retard for 4" nominal pipe on wet sprinkler systems. It signals flow and gives installers two SPDT contacts to wire to.

A sprinkler flow needs to reach the alarm.
When water moves in a wet sprinkler system, the alarm system needs a dependable signal. A vane type switch with an adjustable retard gives installers a listed device to report that flow.
Built for sprinkler installers

Adjustable retard delay
An easy to read retard time delay adjustment knob lets you set the delay on the switch.
