Description

The 3 inch 4000SS-SR-LG-FS is a lead-free reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly designed to protect potable water from contamination. It prevents the reverse flow of non-potable water and fire protection substances caused by backsiphonage or backpressure. This lightweight assembly features a durable stainless steel body and a patented cam-check assembly for maximum flow. It includes a SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor to detect continuous relief valve discharge, with optional connectivity to BMS, cellular, or BAS systems for facility monitoring. Its compact design allows for easy installation and maintenance in continuous pressure applications. Item number F0691820.

Help Me Connect

This 3 inch backflow preventer is designed for flanged connections in accordance with AWWA Class D. It prevents backflow in continuous pressure piping applications and at health-hazard cross-connections where fire protection substances or non-potable water could enter the potable supply.

Flood Sensor Connectivity

  • The integrated flood sensor requires an add-on connection kit (sold separately) to activate its alert features.
  • Connection kit options include compatibility with BMS and cellular networks.
  • The Sensor Control Monitor connection kit enables integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi connectivity.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the 3 inch 4000SS-SR-LG-FS backflow preventer?

Its primary function is to protect potable water supplies from contamination by preventing the reverse flow of non-potable water and fire protection substances into the drinking water system due to backsiphonage or backpressure.

Is this backflow preventer assembly lead-free?

Yes, this product is lead-free. The wetted surface of the assembly contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25% lead by weight, in accordance with national codes.

How does the flood sensor feature work, and what is required to use it?

The assembly includes a SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor that detects excessive water discharge from the relief valve. To activate its alert features and enable communication, an add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required.

What types of connectivity options are available for the flood sensor?

With the appropriate add-on connection kit, the flood sensor can integrate with Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus, the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi, or via BMS and cellular network communication.

What are the main benefits of the stainless steel construction?

The stainless steel construction provides long-term corrosion resistance and maximum strength. It also makes the body approximately half the weight of competitive designs, which helps reduce installation and shipping costs.
