The WFS-6000 is a series of paddle-type water flow switches from Honeywell. It is designed for use in liquid flow lines carrying non-hazardous fluids and can be wired to trigger a switch when the flow rate exceeds or drops below a set level. The switch is built for applications requiring accuracy, reliability, and robust construction, such as in HVAC systems, fire protection systems, and industrial cooling.
