Additional Details
This Colt 4 inch lead free reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of fire protection substances and water of non-potable quality from being pumped or siphoned into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and backpressure.
It is ideal for protection in continuous pressure piping applications and at cross-connections identified as health hazards.
Product Overview
- The Colt C400 Series assembly provides protection to the potable water system in accordance with national plumbing codes.
- Designed for health hazard applications, protecting against contamination from backsiphonage and backpressure.
- Features Lead Free* construction, with wetted surfaces containing less than 0.25% of lead by weight.
- Approved for horizontal installation when installed in accordance with the direction of the flow arrow.
Flood Detection System
- Includes an integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharge from the relief valve.
- When an add-on connection kit (sold separately) is paired, the sensor activates to relay multichannel alerts (call, email, text) for potential flooding events.
- Sensor Control Monitor connection kits enable integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.
