It features a silicone seat. Rated to 175 psi and 33°F to 140°F. This model is certified lead-free for potable-water installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 6\" lead free stainless steel reduced pressure zone assembly backflow preventer help stop the reverse flow of liquids due to backpressure or backsiphonage, where potential health hazard exists. It has NRS groove by groove gate valves that work well in limited headroom situations. The easy maintenance assembly consists of positive seated torsion spring check modules, bottom mounted differential pressure relief valve, non-rising stem resilient seated gate valves and top mounted test cocks. The temperature range is 33 to 140 degrees F (0.5 to 60 degrees C). The maximum working pressure is 175 psi (12.1 bar). 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\u003e304 (Schedule 40) stainless steel housing and sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL and FM outside stem and yoke resilient seated gate 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.

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 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grooved\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\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 957-NRS-GXG-FS 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33°F to 140°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL, FM, USC\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 NRS Gate\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":54935374692651,"sku":"F112071","price":12835.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/3168\/9577\/files\/b0fb8ba59ba009a633578014380645fc3cd299e3.jpg?v=1785983729","url":"https:\/\/citysupplygroup.com\/products\/watts-f112071","provider":"City Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
