MCDONNELL
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MCDONNELL from 3G Electric.
What is the function of the McDonnell & Miller 7-BM electrical switch with manual reset?
The McDonnell & Miller 7-BM is an electrical switch with manual reset, typically used in boiler control circuits to interrupt power when a fault condition occurs, such as low water level or excessive pressure. The manual reset feature requires an operator to physically reset the switch after the fault is cleared, ensuring that the system is inspected before restarting. It is compatible with part number 110900 and is commonly applied in steam and hot water heating systems.
How does the McDonnell & Miller RS-4-BR-1 4-level sensor work in HVACR systems?
The RS-4-BR-1 is a 4-level sensor that detects liquid levels at four distinct points within a tank or vessel. It uses a float mechanism or conductivity probes to signal when levels reach preset thresholds, enabling control of pumps, alarms, or valves. This sensor is compatible with part number 179527 and is used in condensate receivers, boiler feedwater tanks, and other HVACR applications requiring multi-point level monitoring.
What is the purpose of the McDonnell & Miller 340700 strainer basket assembly?
The 340700 strainer basket assembly is a replacement component designed to filter debris from fluid flow in HVACR pump systems. It captures particles that could damage downstream equipment, such as valves or heat exchangers. Compatible with part number 342200, this strainer basket is typically installed in the suction line of pumps to maintain system efficiency and prevent clogging.
Can the McDonnell & Miller 63-HD head mechanism be used as a direct replacement for the MM-701F?
Yes, the 63-HD head mechanism is designed as a replacement for the MM-701F assembly. It includes the internal components necessary to restore the function of a flow switch or level control device. The head mechanism houses the switching element and actuation linkage, and it is compatible with the same mounting and piping configurations as the original MM-701F.
What does the McDonnell & Miller 310452 cartridge kit include?
The 310452 cartridge kit contains replacement internal components for a McDonnell & Miller flow switch or level control device. It typically includes a diaphragm, spring, and sealing elements that restore the device's sensitivity and sealing integrity. Compatible with part number 342500, this kit is used for field servicing to extend the life of existing controls without replacing the entire assembly.
How is the McDonnell & Miller 61 level control typically installed?
The McDonnell & Miller 61 level control is a float-operated device installed directly into a boiler or tank through a threaded or flanged connection. It monitors water level and actuates electrical contacts to control feedwater pumps or alarms. The 61 model is designed for low-water cutoff applications in steam boilers and is wired into the burner control circuit to prevent operation when water level is insufficient.
