Additional Details

This Colt 2 1/2 inch lead free reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of fire protection substances and non-potable water into the potable water supply.

It offers protection against backsiphonage and backpressure in continuous pressure piping applications and cross-connections identified as health hazards.

Features

  • SentryPlus Alert flood sensor for continuous discharge detection from the relief valve.
  • Includes an integrated supervisory switch as an option on each gate valve for OSY models.
  • Extremely compact design and 70% lighter than traditional models.
  • Type 304 (Schedule 40) stainless steel housing and sleeve.
  • Groove fittings for integral pipeline adjustment and ease of installation.
  • Patented link check for lowest pressure loss and unmatched ease of serviceability.
  • Replaceable check disc rubber.
  • Approved for Z-pattern horizontal installation.
  • Drip tight shutoff valves.

Flood Sensor & Alerts

  • Flood alert feature activated with an add-on sensor connection kit.
  • When paired with a connection kit, the sensor relays alerts for potential flooding via BMS, cellular communication, or integration with BAS/Nexa platform through Wi-Fi.

An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive component and will not communicate with any other device.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this backflow preventer?

The Colt C400Z-OSY-FS backflow preventer is designed to prevent the reverse flow of non-potable water and fire protection substances into the potable water supply, protecting against contamination from backsiphonage and backpressure.

What does "Lead Free*" mean for this product?

"Lead Free*" signifies that the wetted surface of this product, which comes into contact with consumable water, contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight, complying with lead-free installation requirements.

How does the SentryPlus Alert flood sensor work?

The integrated SentryPlus Alert flood sensor detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When an add-on connection kit is used, the sensor activates to relay multichannel alerts (call, email, text) to notify personnel of potential flooding.

What are the connection types for this backflow preventer?

This 2 1/2 inch C400Z-OSY-FS model features grooved inlet gate connections and grooved outlet gate connections, designed for easy installation and integral pipeline adjustment.

What is the maximum operating pressure and temperature range for this assembly?

This backflow preventer has a maximum working pressure of 175 psi (12.1 bar) and can operate within a temperature range of 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C).
