Dayton Pressure Switch 30/50 PSI

This Dayton pressure switch controls water-pump operation with a factory on/off setting of 30/50 psi. It features a 1/4 in FNPT port, DPST electrical contacts, and a standard action mechanism. The unit is CSA certified and UL listed for safety compliance.

Suits installers needing a direct-replacement pump

Buyers who want an adjustable differential outside the 15 to 50 psi range should look elsewhere. The switch operates within a 10 to 100 psi range and handles 1 1/2 hp at 120V or 2 hp at 240V single phase. It is not suited for systems requiring an unloader valve or NEMA ratings above 1.

Threads into a 1/4 in FNPT fitting

No unloader valve is included, so installers must verify the plumbing layout before mounting. The temperature range spans -22 to 250 degrees F, allowing use in cold and hot water lines. Wiring follows the DPST contact form; incorrect wiring is the most common cause of pump cycling issues.

Questions about this item

What size pipe fitting do I need to connect the 1/4 in FNPT port on this switch?

The switch has a 1/4 in FNPT port, so you need a male NPT fitting of the same size to thread into it.

Will the DPST contacts handle the 1 1/2 hp rating at 120 V if I keep my existing single-phase motor?

Yes, the DPST contacts are rated for 1 1/2 hp at 120 V single phase and 2 hp at 240 V single phase.

How can I verify the switch is cycling at the correct 30/50 psi settings after installation?

Watch a pressure gauge while the pump runs; the contacts should close at 30 psi and open at 50 psi.
