The 5-18-PP is the ERECTA SWITCH visual flow/no-flow indicator in polypropylene. Uses the same spring-loaded poppet mechanism as the 5-20 and 5-21 flow switches but replaces the reed switch with a visual indicator — allowing direct visual confirmation of flow presence without any electrical connection. Ideal as a secondary confirmation device alongside an electrical flow switch.
