Description

The Watts Series 007M1DCDA 2 inch Double Check Detector Assembly is designed for backpressure and backsiphonage protection in non-health hazard applications, such as commercial fire sprinkler systems. This LF-GPM model includes a 5/8 x 3/4 inch gallons-per-minute water meter on its auxiliary bypass line to detect leaks and unauthorized usage, but it is supplied without shutoff valves. The unit features a compact, in-line serviceable design with an exterior freeze sensor for temperature monitoring, though an activation kit is sold separately. Made from Cast Bronze ASTM B584, it has a maximum working pressure of 175 psi. Note that this "less shutoff valves" configuration is not an approved assembly. Item number 0062728.

Main Line Connections

  • This 2 inch double check detector assembly features flanged connections on the main valve body, typically compliant with ASME B16.1 Class 125 and AWWA Class D Flange standards.
  • NOTE: This specific configuration ("LF" - Less Shutoff Valves) does not include OS&Y gate valves.

Freeze Sensor Connection

  • An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate the included freeze sensor and enable its monitoring capabilities. Without this kit, the sensor functions passively.

Additional Details

The Watts Series 007M1DCDA 2 inch Double Check Detector Assembly is engineered to protect potable water systems from backpressure and backsiphonage in non-health hazard applications, primarily for commercial fire sprinkler systems where local codes mandate such protection.

This particular model, designated LF-GPM, features a gallons-per-minute (GPM) meter on the auxiliary bypass line and is supplied without shutoff valves. It includes an exterior freeze sensor designed to monitor temperature and alert personnel to potential freeze conditions, though a connection kit (sold separately) is required for activation.

WARNING: This "Less Shutoff Valves (LF)" configuration is not an approved assembly. The freeze sensor solely provides alerts about a possible freeze event and cannot prevent freezing; user action is required. The freeze sensor does not replace compliance with all required installation, operation, and maintenance codes for backflow preventers.

Main Valve Features

  • Compact design for ease of installation and in-line serviceability.
  • Requires no special tools for servicing.
  • Features captured modular spring-loaded checks and field replaceable seats and discs.

Auxiliary Bypass Features

  • Includes a 5/8 inch x 3/4 inch water meter that complies with ANSI/AWWA Standard C700, detecting potential underground water leaks and unauthorized water usage.
  • The bypass line and components are field replaceable.

Freeze Sensor Features

  • Detects low and freezing temperatures, triggering alerts when activated by a connection kit (sold separately).
  • Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi functionality to communicate freeze alerts directly to the user without a third-party controller.
  • The standalone sensor provides flexibility in its placement near water-carrying outdoor installations vulnerable to freezing.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Watts 007M1DCDA-LF-GPM assembly?

It is primarily designed to protect potable water systems from contamination due to backpressure and backsiphonage in non-health hazard applications, often used in commercial fire sprinkler systems.

Does this 007M1DCDA-LF-GPM model include shutoff valves?

No, this "LF" configuration means it is supplied "Less Shutoff Valves." The main valve body features flanged connections, but OS&Y gate valves are not included.

Is the Watts 007M1DCDA-LF-GPM considered an approved assembly?

According to Watts documentation, this specific "Less Shutoff Valves (LF)" configuration is identified as a non-approved device or assembly.

What type of water meter is included with this model?

This GPM model includes a 5/8 inch x 3/4 inch totalizing gallons/minute water meter on the auxiliary bypass line, compliant with ANSI/AWWA Standard C700.

How does the freeze sensor operate and what is required for it to work?

The exterior freeze sensor monitors for low and freezing temperatures and can communicate alerts via built-in Wi-Fi. An add-on connection kit, sold separately, is required to activate the sensor's monitoring capabilities; otherwise, it remains a passive component.
