Connections & Compatibility

This 1-inch double check valve assembly is designed with union NPT ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 end connections for straightforward installation into compatible piping systems. The integrated quarter turn ball valve shutoffs allow for easy isolation of the system for maintenance or testing.

Freeze Sensor Connectivity

The included freeze sensor is compatible with SentryPlus Alert® technology. To activate its temperature monitoring and alert features, an add-on connection kit is required and sold separately. This kit enables the sensor to communicate via Wi-Fi networks, building management systems (BMS), or irrigation management systems (IMS) to notify personnel of potential freezing conditions. Without the connection kit, the sensor remains a passive component and does not transmit alerts.
