Schneider Electric 9016GVG1J13 Vacuum Pump Switch

Schneider Electric’s Square D 9016GVG1J13 Vacuum Switch is a two-threshold electromechanical control designed to automate vacuum-pump operation in power circuits, particularly vacuum heating pumps. It is a DPST vacuum switch with an adjustable vacuum setting of 20 to 25 inHg, delivering on at 20 inHg and off at 25 inHg to maintain a stable vacuum range. The unit uses a 1/4-18 NPSF pressure connection, a screw-clamp terminal block for AWG 22–12 conductors, and a compact NEMA Type 1 enclosure suitable for indoor panel mounting. The diaphragm actuator is nitrile (Buna-N), and the switch is operable across a range of fluids including air, water, hydraulic oil, and gas, enabling use in diverse pump environments. Its construction supports up to 150 psig service for the connected system and is approved for common electrical-safety standards (UL/CSA) for vacuum-pump control. The 9016GVG family is commonly paired with vacuum-pump assemblies and related sensors, offering a rugged, field-adjustable solution for turning the pump on and off based on precise vacuum setpoints. With eight screw terminals and durable metal enclosure, it delivers reliable switching in demanding industrial applications where consistent vacuum levels are critical.
