Mercoid Series 391

Series 391/393/394 Side Mounted-Chamber Type Level Control

Compact, Low Cost, Hermetically Sealed Snap Switch Option

Series 391/393/394Heavy duty and low cost is the perfect description for the 391 Series level control. Stainless steel switching mechanism uses gravity return action instead of springs for long life. Weatherproof enclosure is standard. Welded steel chamber is good for 650 psig (45 bar) at 600°F (315°C).
