Pressure switch PED BCP 3 range 0 to -6 bar G 1/2 inch 017B0010

Boiler pressure switch – reliable installation protection

This pressure switch from the BCP series by Danfoss is a key element in regulation and safety systems for steam and water boilers. The device is designed to monitor pressure in the installation and automatically react to its changes, ensuring safe and efficient system operation. This model is characterized by a wide range of settings, from 0 to -6 bar, making it a universal solution for various applications.

Construction and application

The pressure switch has a 1/2 inch tapered external gas thread (BSPP), which facilitates installation in existing systems. The IP65 protection rating guarantees resistance to dust and water jets, enabling operation in harsh environmental conditions. The device is equipped with a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) microswitch, which changes state depending on the current pressure. Thanks to this, the pressure switch can be used for both regulation and monitoring and protection of boilers.

• Wide range of applications: ideal for steam and water boilers, heating systems and other applications requiring precise pressure control.
• Solid construction: made of high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation.
• Easy installation: 1/2 inch BSPP thread allows for quick and easy connection to the installation.
• Resistance to external conditions: IP65 protection rating protects against dust and water.
• Automatic operation: contact switching is automatic after exceeding the set pressure range.

Technical specifications

The dimensions of the pressure switch have been adapted to most standard installations: width 159 mm, height 91 mm and depth 120 mm. The maximum working pressure is 16 hPa, ensuring safety even in demanding conditions. It should be remembered that the device does not have an explosion-proof design. Choosing this model is a compromise between functionality and price – solid construction and precise operation at a reasonable price.
