Help Me Connect
This valve is designed for installation in a continuous pressure potable water supply system. It must be installed 12 inches above the highest point of the downstream piping, with the supply connected to the bottom and in a vertical position. Adequate space for periodic inspection, servicing, or testing is required.
Winterization
- Test cocks are positioned at the lowest point of the valve for winterization draining.
Compatibility Limitations
- Vacuum breakers are not designed, tested, or approved to protect against backpressure backflow or water hammer shock.
- For protection against backpressure backflow, install a Watts LF009 Reduced Pressure Zone backflow preventer.
- For protection against water hammer shock, install a Watts Series LF15 Water Hammer Arrestor.
Freeze Sensor Activation
- An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate the freeze sensor and enable its monitoring capabilities via Wi-Fi, BMS, or irrigation management systems. Without this kit, the sensor is passive.

Additional Details
The Watts Series LF800M4FR 3/4 inch lead free pressure vacuum breaker backflow preventer prevents the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage. It is ideal for health hazard continuous pressure applications such as irrigation systems and industrial process water systems where the water enters the equipment at or below its flood rim.
Features
- Unique built-in relief valve relieves pressure caused by ice formation
- Replaceable plastic seat for easy maintenance
- Easy maintenance of internal parts
- O-ring bonnet seal for less possibility of fouling
- Silicone seat disc for durability
- Test cocks positioned for easy testing and winterization
- Compact space saving design
- Standardly equipped with tee handle quarter turn ball valve shutoffs
- No special tools required for servicing
- Lead Free* cast copper silicon alloy body for durability
- Includes a freeze sensor for use with SentryPlus Alert® technology to monitor temperature and alert facility personnel when freeze conditions can cause damage to equipment.
- Available freeze sensor connection kit (sold separately) to activate a monitoring system that triggers alerts for low and freezing temperatures (with connection kit)
- Built-in Wi-Fi function to communicate freeze alerts directly to the user, eliminating the need for a third-party controller (with connection kit)
- Included standalone sensor to provide flexibility in locating a measuring tool at or near any water-carrying outdoor installation vulnerable to freezing conditions (with connection kit)
- Switched output relay to augment BMS or irrigation management systems with reinforced control of sprinkler systems (with connection kit)
Freeze Protection
- Its superior design protects the valve body and internal components during sudden freeze conditions.
- As ice forms and expands, causing a buildup of pressure, the device relieves the pressure through a unique relief valve built into the plastic float.
- WARNING: Freeze sensor solely provides alerts about a possible freeze event and cannot prevent a freeze event from occurring. User action is required to prevent freeze conditions from causing product and/or property damage.
- WARNING: An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate the freeze sensor. Without the connection kit, the sensor is a passive component that has no communication with any other device.
- WARNING: Use of the freeze sensor does not replace the need to comply with all required instructions, codes, and regulations related to installation, operation, and maintenance of this product, including the need to provide protection against a freeze event.
