Help Me Connect
This Reduced Pressure Zone assembly is installed at each cross-connection to prevent backsiphonage and backpressure of hazardous materials into the potable water supply.
Flood Detection System Connectivity
- The flood sensor, which detects excessive water discharge from the relief valve, can be connected to an add-on connection kit for extended monitoring.
- Connection kit options include integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), cellular communication, or a Sensor Control Monitor.
- The Sensor Control Monitor enables communication with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi connectivity.
Valve Connections
- This assembly comes with domestic non-rising stem (NRS) gate valves for shutoff.
- The flange dimensions are in accordance with AWWA Class D.

Additional Details
This 3 inch stainless steel reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of contaminated water of non-potable quality from being pumped or siphoned into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and/or backpressure. It is ideal for protection at cross-connections identified as health hazard applications and from other contaminants found at the service line entrance.
This compact and short lay length design features a lightweight 300 Series stainless steel body, domestic non-rising stem resilient seated gate valves, spring-loaded cam-check valves, a pressure differential relief valve, and test cocks.
Flood Detection
- Includes a SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor with technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.
- When paired with an add-on connection kit, the sensor activates to relay alerts for potential flooding events.
- Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor which enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.
Cam-Check Assembly
- Manufactured with thermoplastic construction, stainless steel hinge pins, cam arm, and cam bearing.
- Features a single torsion spring design to minimize pressure drop, providing maximum flow at low pressure drop.
- Modular design with an O-ring seal to the main valve body.
Relief Valve
- Constructed from stainless steel with a balanced rolling diaphragm to eliminate sliding seals and lower maintenance costs.
- Designed for bottom mounting and supplied with a steel reinforced sensing hose.
- Equipped with a sensor on the relief valve for flood detection.
NOTICE: When installing a drain line on the Series 4000SS backflow preventer, use an air gap.
