The 10" Watts 909 Series Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies were manufactured from 1979 and are still currently in production. The 10" 909 is a cast iron bodied device. In 1989 the 909M1 replaced the original 909. The difference was the relief valve body changed. The relief valve bottom plug was also redesigned and the rv diaphragm was resized. Many devices were not tagged with the "M1" suffix. To be sure which model you have, you must measure the relief valve cover. The original 909 relief valve cover will have a diameter of 12" while the 909M1 will measure 9-3/4". Check valves are self contained and the relief valve is a stem type. In 2010, the LF909 was introduced to comply with the new "Lead Free" laws. All repair parts were converted to lead free in 2013. Lead free repair parts will fit both regular 909 and lead free LF909 models. All 909 models have replaceable seats and require no special tools for repair.
The 10" Watts 909RPDA Series Reduced Pressure Detector Assemblies were manufactured from 1990 and are still currently in production. The 10" 909RPDA is a cast iron bodied device with a bronze relief valve. It features two check covers and a seperate relief valve cover. Check valves are self contained and the relief valve is a stem type. In 2010, the LF909RPDA was introduced to comply with the new "Lead Free" laws. All repair parts were converted to lead free in 2013. Lead free repair parts will fit both regular 909RPDA and lead free LF909RPDA models. All 909RPDA models have replaceable seats and require no special tools for repair. The 909RPDA features a bypass assembly to meter water usage. The bypass backflow preventer was changed over the years and may be a 3/4" Watts 909, 3/4" Watts 009, or 3/4" 009M2. Please check the bypass device I.D. tag before ordering parts.
The 10" Watts 957 Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) began production in 2000 under the Hunter name. In 2002, Watts bought the rights off of Hunter and is still manufacturing the devices. The body is constructed of stainless steel. The 957 Series features a light weight design and short lay length. It is also offered in a number of configurations with many valve options. To access the check assemblies there is a stainless steel sleeve that will slide open. You must release the two victaulic clamps that hold the stainless sleeve. The 957 uses two self contained cam checks that use a tri-link check mechanism. Numerous repair parts are available for the 957 series devices, including rubber parts and complete parts. The relief valve can be unthreaded from the body for ease of service. The 957 uses an extrnal relief valve sensing line. There are no special tools required for service.
