McDonnell & Miller, a Xylem brand, introduces the boilerwize® FPC-1000, the first-ever field configurable low water cutoff device. With patented technology that monitors water level conditions, it ensures optimal protection and safety for steam and hot water systems. 

The FPC-1000 reduces the number of models from 19 to 5, cutting travel time, carrying costs and storage space – making it a smart and efficient choice.

Water cut-off technology

Electronic low water cut-off technology hasn't seen much innovation since its inception in the 1960s, but with the introduction of the boilerwize FPC-1000, we're breaking new ground by offering a completely new design and universal, field configurable control,” said Jarek Berezowski, Product Manager, Steam Specialties, Xylem.

Jarek Berezowski adds, “For 100 years, McDonnell & Miller has been dedicated to manufacturing quality products that protect boilers. The boilerwize FPC-1000 exemplifies our century-long commitment by offering a universal, field configurable solution.”

Range of innovative features

As a primary or secondary device for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, the boilerwize FPC-1000 boasts a range of innovative features, including:

  • Simplifies their offering
    • Consolidates existing Series PSE-800 and Series 750 into one Series FPC-1000.
  • Enhances safety
    • First field configurable control that can be configured for any application.
    • Patented self-cleaning probe minimizes scale build-up and extends recommended cleaning intervals to every five years instead of annually.
  • Improves installation
    • Metal-to-metal seal provided by the brass threads ensures leak-free installations.
    • Wrench flats and easy access wiring, as well as redesigned enclosure, simplify installation for any hydronic system.
    • Tri-function button allows quick push-to-test without draining the boiler, easy selection of the desired configuration and a manual reset option.
