Description
Description
This 4 inch Watts LF709 double check valve backflow preventer assembly prevents polluted water from entering potable systems in non-health hazard cross-connections. Featuring a fused epoxy coated cast iron body and FDA epoxy coated quarter-turn ball valves, it ensures durability and compliance. The ArmorTek® coating resists microbial-induced corrosion. Integrated pressure-sensing test cocks allow for performance monitoring when used with an add-on connection kit. Its modular design simplifies maintenance. Approved for continuous pressure applications up to 175 psi, this Lead Free assembly meets ASSE 1015, AWWA C510-92, CSA B64.5, and NSF/ANSI 61-G standards. Item number 88003414.

Additional Details
This 4 inch lead free double check valve backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water system. It is ideal for protection in continuous pressure piping applications and cross-connections identified as non-health hazards.
Construction & Design
- Features a fused epoxy coated cast iron body and FDA epoxy coated quarter-turn ball valve shutoffs.
- The modular check design allows for easy maintenance with a center stem guide.
- Captured spring assemblies are accessible through a bolted cover plate for safety.
- Utilizes ArmorTek® coating technology, a patented 3-part advanced epoxy system, to resist microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal substrate.
- Lead Free* construction ensures the wetted surface contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.
Smart & Connected Features
- Integrated pressure-sensing test cocks (No. 2, No. 3, No. 4) measure pressure fluctuations at three locations.
- An add-on monitoring connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate sensors and transmit data to a Building Management System (BMS/BAS).
- Enables monitoring and assessment of backflow assembly performance and the water supply system.
- Provides data to help drive the scheduling of maintenance and repair, offering a solution for monitoring assembly performance between code testing.
Key Features
- Replaceable stainless steel seats.
- Achieves maximum flow at low pressure drop.
- No special tools required for servicing.
- Approved for vertical flow up installation (for 4 inch to 10 inch with OSY gate valves only).
Installation requirements vary by local authority. Always inquire with governing authorities for specific local installation requirements.

FAQs
What is the primary function of the Watts LF709 double check valve assembly?
Its primary function is to prevent the reverse flow of polluted water from entering the potable water supply, typically in non-health hazard cross-connections and continuous pressure piping applications.
What makes this backflow preventer "Lead Free"?
The wetted surface of this product, which contacts consumable water, contains less than 0.25% lead by weight, complying with Lead Free installation requirements.
How does the ArmorTek® coating benefit this assembly?
The ArmorTek® coating is a patented three-part advanced epoxy system applied to internal and external surfaces. It is engineered to reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect the exposed metal substrate, enhancing durability.
Are the integrated pressure sensors active out of the box?
No, the integrated pressure-sensing test cocks are passive components. An add-on monitoring connection kit, sold separately, is required to activate the sensors and transmit data to a Building Management System.
What are the maximum operating pressure and temperature ratings for this valve?
This valve has a maximum working pressure of 175 psi (12.1 bar). The continuous temperature range is 33°F - 110°F (0.5°C - 43°C), with an intermittent rating of 140°F (60°C).
