Warrick 3C1A22 Single Short Probe

The Warrick 3C1A22 is a professional-grade single short probe electrode fitting engineered for external side mounting on boilers and high-pressure vessels. As the direct replacement for the Warrick 3C1A13, this 3C Series side chamber assembly features a rugged cast iron housing rated for 250 psig at 406°F. This unit is supplied with a single 6-inch 316 stainless steel probe, ensuring precise conductance-actuated liquid level control in demanding steam and condensate applications. The chamber design facilitates equalized liquid levels between the vessel and the sensor, utilizing two 1" NPT tappings, a 1" NPT blowdown, and a 3/4" NPT side port for versatile integration. For contractors managing boiler water level control, the 3C1A22 provides a critical interface for low-water cut-offs and pump control systems, delivering the thermal and chemical resistance required for industrial process tanks and steam heating systems.

Key Benefits

• Direct Retrofit Compatibility: Seamlessly replaces the legacy 3C1A13 model without piping modifications.
• High-Pressure Durability: Cast iron construction maintains structural integrity in environments up to 250 psig.
• Corrosion Resistance: Includes a 316 stainless steel electrode to prevent scaling and degradation in aggressive water conditions.
• Maintenance-Oriented Design: External side mounting allows for electrode inspection and blowdown procedures without vessel depressurization.
• System Integration: Fully compatible with Warrick 16, 26, and 19 series conductivity relays for automated level management.

Common Questions

Can I add more probes to the Warrick 3C1A22?
Yes, while this specific configuration includes one 6-inch probe, the cast iron housing is designed to accommodate up to four electrodes if multi-level sensing (such as high alarm, pump start, and low-water cutoff) is required for your application.

What is the purpose of the 1" NPT blowdown tapping?
The blowdown connection is essential for clearing sediment and scale buildup from the side chamber, ensuring that the liquid level sensor remains responsive and provides accurate conductivity readings.

Is this unit suitable for potable water applications?
Actually, the 3C1A22 is primarily optimized for industrial boilers and pressure vessels. For potable water, ensure the materials meet local plumbing codes, though the 316 stainless steel probe is widely accepted for its inert properties.
