What Makes the 5-18-KR the Right Choice

Visual flow confirmation — no wiring
Transparent polysulfone window shows poppet position. No electrical connection, no wiring, no switch. Ideal as a secondary confirmation device.
Same poppet mechanism as 5-20/5-21
Spring-loaded poppet in an angle body. Interchangeable poppets with the rest of the Series 5 line.
ERECTA SWITCH modular architecture
Every component is independently field-replaceable. Poppets, fittings, and trim sets service individually — no need to replace the entire switch body.
Kynar PVDF construction
Handles aggressive acids, halogens, oxidizers, and ultra-high-purity process fluids. Required for semiconductor, chemical processing, and harsh chemical environments.
Hermetically sealed reed switch
SPST N.O., closes on flow. 70 VA / 50W resistive. 0.5A AC / 0.7A DC. 300 VAC / 350 VDC maximum. No mechanical contact with liquid. Inductive loads such as solenoid and relay coils require external arc suppression; above the rating, isolate the load with a Series 50 relay.
RoHS compliant · Made in USA
Every Series 5 switch manufactured in Paradise, California. RoHS compliant throughout. No minimum order.
