Flow Detector Isofast C 35 E Ref. 116170E
Flow detector (flow switch) for the domestic hot water circuit. It detects the flow of water when a tap is opened and sends a signal to the electronics for the boiler to ignite the burner and produce DHW. It is replaced when there is no hot water despite having gas and pressure, or when the supply is intermittent. Compatible with Isofast C 35 E, Isofast F 35 E, Condens F 30/35 E, F 24/28/30/35 E, and Xtramax.

How to check if ref. S5720200 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference S5720200. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the flow meter S5720200 resolves.
The flow meter detects the passage of water to activate the domestic hot water. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
No hot water comes out when the tap is opened, even though the boiler has gas and normal pressure.
Cause: The flow detector does not send the water flow signal to the electronics, so the burner does not ignite.
Measure the flow at the tap by filling a container to rule out a network pressure issue before checking the sensor.
- 02
The boiler goes into sleep mode when the tap is opened: the burner does not start.
Cause: Without a flow signal, the control board understands that there is no demand for domestic hot water and does not issue the ignition command.
Check the cold water inlet filter before the sensor, as accumulated scale there can reduce the flow below the minimum triggering level.
- 03
The hot water comes out and cuts off intermittently, without anyone touching the faucet.
Cause: An internal contact of the detector with looseness or dirt causes the signal to flicker instead of remaining stable.
Open and close the tap several times in a row and note if the cut occurs at the same flow rate or if it is erratic, as this helps to distinguish the detector from another cause.
- 04
The boiler is showing a fault related to domestic hot water even though the circuit is full and bled.
Cause: The PCB interprets the absence of signal from the sensor as if there is no water flow, and it blocks for safety reasons.
Check that the connector of the sensor is properly fitted and free of corrosion before replacing the part.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
