Ashcroft B722T Explosion Proof Pressure Switch

The Ashcroft B722T Explosion Proof Pressure Switch is a hazardous-location-rated, pressure-activated device that closes or opens its contacts when system pressure reaches the 30 psi setpoint. It carries a 5 A electrical rating at 125/250 VAC, enabling straightforward integration into control circuits for shutdowns or alarms. The explosion-proof enclosure provides protection in volatile environments, making it suitable for installations in chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, refineries, and water treatment where safety-critical pressure monitoring is essential. In typical applications, the B722T acts in pressure-control loops to trigger a controller, audible alarm, or safety shutdown when pressure crosses threshold, ensuring a rapid response to overpressure conditions. As part of Ashcroft’s line of explosion-proof pressure switches, the B722T is designed for reliable operation in harsh conditions and is used where standard equipment could pose ignition risks in hazardous locations. This model supports fixed, field-set pressure switching with the robustness required for continuous service in industrial plants and similar environments where precise, dependable pressure sensing is crucial.
