Flood Sensor Connectivity

  • The integrated SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor requires an add-on connection kit (sold separately) for activation.
  • Connection kit options allow integration with:
    • Building Management Systems (BMS)
    • Cellular communication networks
    • Sensor Control Monitor for BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.

Drain Line Connection

  • When installing a drain line, use Watts Series 909 air gaps specifically designed for Model 909 backflow preventers.

Additional Details

The Watts Series 909RPDA Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly is a 10 inch backflow preventer designed to prevent the reverse flow of fire protection system substances into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage or backpressure.

This assembly is ideal for health hazard applications and ensures the safety of the drinking water supply by detecting and preventing contamination.

Construction & Design

  • Features an epoxy coated cast iron body for durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Includes OSY (Outside Stem and Yoke) resilient seated gate valves and captured spring check valves.
  • Equipped with replaceable stainless steel seats.
  • A pressure differential relief valve is located between the check valves.
  • Compact design for economy combined with performance.

Corrosion Protection

  • Utilizes ArmorTek® coating technology, a patented three-part advanced epoxy system.
  • Engineered to reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal substrates.
  • Coating applied to internal and external surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

  • Comes furnished with a GPM (gallons per minute) meter to detect underground leaks and unauthorized water use.
  • Includes a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.
  • Sensor relays a signal to facility personnel for corrective action, limiting flooding and costly damage.
  • Flood alerts are activated with an add-on sensor connection kit (sold separately).
  • Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor for integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi connectivity.

Performance

  • Offers maximum flow at low pressure drop.
  • Designed for easy maintenance with modular check design.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this 10 inch Watts 909RPDA backflow preventer?

This 10 inch Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly prevents the reverse flow of non-potable fire protection system substances into a public potable water supply. It is used in health hazard applications to safeguard drinking water from contamination.

What is ArmorTek® coating and why is it important?

ArmorTek® is a patented three-part advanced epoxy coating system applied to the cast iron body. It is engineered to reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal substrates, enhancing the longevity and durability of the assembly.

How does the SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor function?

The flood sensor detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When activated with an optional add-on connection kit, it relays signals to facility personnel or integrated systems (BMS, cellular, Wi-Fi) to alert of potential flooding events.

What certifications and approvals does this backflow preventer hold?

This assembly meets AWWA C511-92, CSA B64, and ASSE 1047 standards. It is UL Classified and FM Approved, also certified by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at USC.

What are the maximum operating pressure and temperature for this unit?

The maximum working pressure for this 10 inch backflow preventer is 175 psi (12.1 bar). It can operate continuously within a temperature range of 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C).
