{"product_id":"watts-88004013","title":"Watts 009-LF-FS 1\/2 1-1\/2\" Lead-Free RPZ Backflow Preventer, Bronze, NPT","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Watts 009-LF-FS 1\/2 is a 1-1\/2\" lead-free reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow preventer with NPT connections, approved for high health hazard protection. It features a bronze body and a silicone seat. Rated to 175 psi. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/2 inch reduced pressure zone assembly backflow preventer helps prevent the flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and or backpressure in accordance with national plumbing codes and water authority requirements. Its compact modular design facilitates easy maintenance with a single access cover for in-line repairs. It is ideal for protection in continuous pressure piping applications and at cross-connections identified as health hazards and for contaminants at the service line entrance. This assembly without shutoff valves consists of a bronze body, NPT end connections, top mounted test cocks, two in-line independent check valves, captured springs, and replaceable check seats with an internal relief valve for reduced space requirements. This backflow assembly includes flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When activated through an add-on sensor connection kit, the flood sensor can send an alert to notify the user of potential flooding. Add-on sensor connection kits are available for both BMS and cellular communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlert features available with add-on sensor connection kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze body construction for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT inlet and outlet connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembled without shutoff valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle access cover and modular check construction for the ease of maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal relief valve for reduced installation clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable seats for an economical repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest cocks are screwdriver slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Test Cocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Flood Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hazard level is this RPZ approved for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eIt is rated for high health hazard (toxic) cross-connections, so it may be used on either high or low hazard service.

This is a field-testable assembly with 4 test cocks. Most water authorities require it to be tested and certified by a licensed backflow tester at installation and annually thereafter.

An RPZ relief valve is designed to discharge, and it can dump a large volume of water, so it must never be installed in a pit or below grade and the discharge must be piped to an adequate drain through an air gap. The air gap fitting is not included with this model and is ordered separately. This model includes the SentryPlus Alert flood sensor, which signals a relief-valve discharge before it becomes a flood.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e RPZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat \/ Seal Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Pressure (psi):\u003c\/strong\u003e 175\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domestic Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackflow Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Year Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 009-LF-FS 1\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASSE-1013, CSA-B64, UL, USC, IAPMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-Free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e RPZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHazard Protection Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Health Hazard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASSE Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASSE 1013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSC FCCCHR Approved:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire Protection Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL Classified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField Testable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Test Cocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShutoff Valves:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlood Sensor (SentryPlus Alert):\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrainer Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Gap Fitting Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Watts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54935385309483,"sku":"88004013","price":569.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/3168\/9577\/files\/1e59db75a5cf91148de9783f25a085d11ec1b1cd_7a3510e0-2b5d-4b4e-8ec8-09a60f67e3b3.jpg?v=1785983743","url":"https:\/\/citysupplygroup.com\/products\/watts-88004013","provider":"City Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
