Product Overview
The American Granby FSG-2 is an electromechanical pressure switch used to start and stop a compatible water pump as pressure changes in a well or water-supply system. The diaphragm responds to system pressure and operates the electrical contacts, allowing the pump to replenish stored water when pressure falls and shut off after the selected upper threshold is reached. This automatic control is central to normal pressure-tank operation.
The switch includes an adjustable differential, screw-clamp terminals, a G 1/4 female ISO 228 fluid connection, and a general-purpose NEMA Type 1 enclosure. Because pressure settings and motor ratings must match the installation, confirm the pump voltage, phase, horsepower, wiring, connection, and pressure requirements before replacement.
