INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Model Q-8DS is normally mounted in a 1½” x 1½” x 1” or 2” x 1” SST PVC Tee, which may be
plumbed into the system in vertical or horizontal lines, right side up or inverted using normal PVC
pipe cement. Make sure that flow direction arrow on the cover is aligned with the flow in the pipe.
An unmounted Q-8DS should be threaded into the 1” NPT stem of the Tee after checking for uniform
coating of threads with Teflon tape. Tighten sufficiently to produce a leak-tight seal and continue tight-
ening up to one full turn to align flow direction arrow on cover parallel with flow axis of Tee. Check
through open end of Tee that drag strip moves freely and is perpendicular to the flow axis. Install in
pipe with flow direction arrows pointing correctly in flow direction.
1. Remove strain relief nut, grommet, and switch
cover.
2. Strip outer jacket of electrical cord back ap-
proximately 1¼”, stagger ½” and strip leads
¼”.
3. Remove slip-on connectors from microswitch
terminals and crimp or solder to leads.
4. Feed cable through strain relief nut, grommet,
and cover.
5. Apply slip-on connectors to appropriate termi-
nals of microswitch. Slide cover down cable
and fasten to body with 4 screws. Slide grom-
met down cable until small end is level with
outer jacket. Push grommet into tapered hole
of cover, hold cable jacket to prevent rotation
and tighten strain relief firmly.
6. If type “F” cover is supplied, connect desired
conduit fitting to cover. Prepare leads, attach
to slip-on connectors per STEP 2 and apply
to appropriate microswitch terminals. Attach
electrical conduit-to-conduit fitting. Exercise
reasonable care when assembling metal flex-
ible conduit to prevent fracture of plastic cover.
Rigid conduit is not recommended.
WIRING SCHEMATIC
Contacts are closed when flow rate is above
microswitch set point (15-20 GPM). Power to load
interrupted when flow decreases below this point.

Corrosion resistance information listed in HARWIL specification sheets, information sheets and product
brochures is solely for general background information. This information table has been compiled from
literature published by various material suppliers and by equipment manufacturers who use these materi-
als in their products. Inasmuch as these data are based on tests by entities over which HARWIL has no

ACCURACY OF SUCH THIRD PARTY TESTING. When using the table, please remember that in any
given case several factors such as concentration, temperature, degrees of agitation and presence of impu-
rities influence the rate of corrosion. The information table is intended, in a general way, to rate materials
for resistance to chemicals which contain their usual impurities and for types of equipment in common
use. Ratings should be used only as a general tool to first approximation of your material requirements
rather than as the final answer.
WHEN IN DOUBT, TEST MATERIALS BEFORE INSTALLATION.
