This Colt™ 3 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 due to backsiphonage or backpressure.

It is approved for horizontal N pattern installation in continuous pressure piping applications and at cross-connections identified as health hazards, provided the backflow assembly is installed in accordance with the direction of the flow arrow.

Components

• Stainless steel body with a quick access sleeve
• Two independent torsion spring check modules
• Bottom mounted differential pressure relief valve
• Two drip tight shutoff valves, specifically grooved gear operated butterfly valves with tamper switch
• Required test cocks

Flood Detection & Alerting

• Features a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.
• An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor. Without the kit, the sensor is passive and will not communicate.
• When activated, the sensor relays a signal that triggers a multichannel alert (call, email, text) to notify personnel about 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.
• Use of the flood sensor does not replace the need to comply with all required instructions, codes, and regulations related to installation, operation, and maintenance, including the need to provide proper drainage in the event of a discharge.
