POTTER VSR-10

Product Overview

The VSR-10 is a vane-type waterflow switch designed for use on wet sprinkler systems, providing dependable flow detection across steel pipes ranging from 2" to 8" in schedule 10–40. It is fully UL, CUL, and CSFM Listed, FM Approved, and LPCB Approved, ensuring compliance for a wide range of fire protection applications.

Engineered with an instantly recycling pneumatic retard, the device prevents false alarms by requiring a sustained waterflow condition minimum 10 GPM (38 LPM) before activating its internal switches. With two isolated switch compartments and a rugged NEMA 4 / IP54 rated enclosure, the VSR-10 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
