FAQs

What is the primary use of the LF876W/WZ Double Check Detector Assembly?

This assembly is primarily used on potable drinking water systems and fire sprinkler systems to prevent the reverse flow of non-health hazard (pollutant) quality water into the potable water supply due to backpressure or backsiphonage conditions.

What does 'Lead Free' mean for this product?

The 'Lead Free' designation indicates that the wetted surface of this product, which comes into contact with consumable water, contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight, meeting regulatory requirements for potable water applications.

What is the purpose of the ArmorTek® coating?

ArmorTek® is a patented three-part advanced epoxy system applied to the iron components of the backflow preventer. It is engineered to reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect exposed metal surfaces, extending the product's lifespan and maintaining performance.

Can this backflow preventer assembly replace other brands?

Yes, the MasterSeries LF876W/WZ is specifically designed to provide drop-in replacement functionality for competitor's valves with an N-pattern lay length. It can also be configured for Z-pattern (vertical up) installations.

What is the bypass line's function on this detector assembly?

The auxiliary bypass line contains a 5/8"x3/4" water meter and an approved check assembly. Its function is to detect potential underground water leaks within the system and to monitor for any unauthorized water usage.
