Connections

  • This Watts Series U009 assembly utilizes union connections and a unique swivel union at both the inlet and outlet, allowing for flexible installation in various piping configurations.
  • It includes quarter-turn ball valve shutoffs with tee handles for isolation.

Flood Sensor Connectivity

The integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert technology is designed to detect excessive water discharges. To activate its communication features and relay alerts, an add-on connection kit is required. Without this kit, the sensor functions as a passive component, providing no communication to other devices. Connection kit options can include integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa platform through Wi-Fi or cellular communication.
