{"product_id":"watts-88009315","title":"Watts LF909-LF-FS 3 Lead-Free RPZ Backflow Preventer, Cast Iron","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Watts LF909-LF-FS 3 is a 3\" lead-free reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow preventer, approved for high health hazard protection. It features a cast iron body. Rated to 175 psi. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 3 inch lead free reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly prevents the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and or backpressure. It is ideal for protection in continuous pressure piping applications and at cross-connections identified as health hazards. This assembly without gate valves consists of an epoxy coated cast iron body, captured spring check valves, replaceable seats, top mounted test cocks, and a field reversible pressure differential relief valve. The coating on this backflow assembly uses ArmorTek®, a patented 3-part advanced epoxy coating system designed to limit both microbial induced (MIC) and exposed metal substrate corrosion. This backflow assembly contains a 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 relays a signal that triggers notification of potential flooding to service personnel. The add-on sensor connection kit is available for building management systems and cellular communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a 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\u003eUtilizes advanced ArmorTek coating technology to resist corrosion of internals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron body construction with patented 3-part advanced epoxy coating system designed to limit both microbial induced (MIC) and exposed metal substrate corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique patented air-in and water-out design provides high capacity relief valve discharge performance during emergency conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo shutoff valves\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. It carries USC FCCCHR approval, which many jurisdictions accept as their sole approval list.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this ship with inlet and outlet shutoff valves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. This is the \"less valves\" (LF) configuration — the assembly ships without inlet and outlet shutoffs. Most jurisdictions require approved shutoffs on both sides, so order them separately or choose a QT, NRS, OSY or BFG variant of this model.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this listed for fire protection service?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — it is UL Classified and FM Approved, the listings normally required for a backflow device on a fire sprinkler supply.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the relief valve need a drain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. 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 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Iron\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 LF909-LF-FS 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASSE-1013, CSA-B64, UL, FM, 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;FM Approved\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":54935454417195,"sku":"88009315","price":9440.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/3168\/9577\/files\/e1ae4734050d86b129d0c25866332c7b8658fb44_4ba532a1-0247-487d-ae1e-a9f82fbeb56f.jpg?v=1785984090","url":"https:\/\/citysupplygroup.com\/products\/watts-88009315","provider":"City Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
