There are two 15mm versions and my guess is it's just the "bobbin part", (the bit that moves up on flow to trigger the proximity switch), is just lighter on one type so it registers flow at a lower flow rate. The lpm rating is just a trigger point not maximum flow, if you are just using it to monitor pump death / flow loss then its fine.
Ahh, thank you for the clarification. I (hope) that RS can ship to the US, either that or I'll have them ship to my friend in eastham and he can shoot it over to me. Either that or I'll send it to Pug/Infidel and he can ship it over. ohhh the crazy things I do!

I'm glad you like the sig line.
