Hubbell Industrial Controls 69WH6 Pressure Switch
The Hubbell Industrial Controls 69WH6 is a professional-grade HI-GARD pressure switch engineered for critical high-pressure limit protection in commercial and industrial water systems. As a veteran-preferred well pump pressure switch, this unit is designed to be wired in series with a standard control switch, acting as a failsafe that opens the contacts and cuts power to the motor once a preset maximum pressure is reached. Rated for heavy-duty 5 HP at 240V, it features a 2-pole double break contact configuration with visible contact points for easy inspection during routine maintenance. The rugged corrosion-resistant non-metallic cover and captive cover screw provide durability in demanding mechanical rooms, while the straight-through wiring design eliminates the need for wire looping, significantly reducing installation time for contractors. With no-drift pressure settings and a 1/4" NPT internal thread connection, the 69WH6 ensures long-term calibration stability and precise system pressure monitoring for high-limit safety applications.
Key Benefits- High-Limit Protection: Specifically designed to "cut-out" and prevent over-pressurization by opening contacts at a preset maximum.
- Manual Reset Feature: Enhances system safety by requiring a manual reset after a high-pressure event, ensuring a technician can inspect the system before restart.
- Simplified Installation: Features straight-through wiring and ample internal room, compatible with standard HVACR control systems.
- Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: Rated for up to 5 HP (3-phase) and 3 HP (1-phase) at 240V, making it suitable for larger industrial water pumps.
- Environmental Resilience: The non-metallic, corrosion-resistant housing protects internal components in high-humidity or chemical-heavy environments.
Is the Hubbell 69WH6 compatible with air compressor systems?
While often utilized in water systems, this HI-GARD special application switch can be integrated into any compatible air or water system where a high-limit manual reset safety cut-out is required.
What is the difference between HI-GARD and GARD-IT switches?
The 69WH6 HI-GARD switch cuts out at high pressure to prevent system damage, whereas GARD-IT switches are designed to disconnect the motor if the pressure drops too low, protecting against prime loss.
Can the pressure settings be field-adjusted?
Yes, the 69WH6 features an easy-to-adjust range screw that allows contractors to fine-tune both the cut-in and cut-out points to meet specific job site requirements.
