{"product_id":"watts-88009347","title":"Watts LF909-QT-S-FDA-FS 3 Lead-Free RPZ Backflow Preventer, Cast Iron","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Watts LF909-QT-S-FDA-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 consists of an epoxy coated cast iron body, FDA approved coated quarter turn ball valve shutoffs with lever handles, an FDA epoxy coated strainer, 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 paired with an add on connection kit, the sensor is activated to relay alerts for potential flooding events. Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor which enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.\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 continuous discharge from the relief valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd-on sensor connection kit to extend flood monitoring on compatible assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates with the Sensor Control Monitor to deliver maintenance alerts to BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa platform by Wi-Fi connectivity\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\u003eFDA epoxy coated quarter-turn ball valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow at low pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Test Cocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Strainer\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.

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-QT-S-FDA-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 Quarter-Turn Ball\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 Yes\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":54935496393003,"sku":"88009347","price":19757.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/3168\/9577\/files\/0e93e062a1d41a2e8b312ed589f410cf067e2831_2fc8f11a-ac64-4aa7-8779-27e627f7a1ab.jpg?v=1785984189","url":"https:\/\/citysupplygroup.com\/products\/watts-88009347","provider":"City Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
