Connections

  • This assembly features flanged end connections compliant with ASME B16.1 Class 125 and AWWA Class D Flange standards.

Flood Sensor Connectivity

The integrated SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor requires an add-on connection kit to be activated and communicate alerts. Without this kit, the sensor is passive. Connection kit options include:

  • BMS (Building Management System) integration for wired communication.
  • Cellular network communication for remote alerts (call, email, text).
  • Sensor Control Monitor for integration with BAS (Building Automation Systems) via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi connectivity.

Additional Details

The 4 inch FEBCO MasterSeries® LF886V Reduced Pressure Zone Detector Backflow Preventer Assembly is engineered to protect potable water systems from backpressure and backsiphonage in high hazard/toxic applications, typically found in industrial installations.

This assembly features OSY shutoff valves, a GPM metered bypass, and a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.

Construction & Durability

  • The valve body and relief valve body are constructed from ductile iron Grade 65-45-12.
  • All iron components are coated with ArmorTek®, a patented three-part advanced epoxy system designed to resist both microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and general exposed metal substrate corrosion.
  • Features stainless steel relief valve seat and stainless steel check components for maximum performance and extended durability.
  • Designed for inline serviceability without special tools.

Flood Detection & Alerts

  • Equipped with a SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor to detect continuous discharge from the relief valve.
  • The flood sensor provides a signal that triggers a multichannel alert (call, email, text) to notify personnel about potential flooding, requiring an add-on connection kit for activation.
  • Available connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor for integration with BAS (Building Automation Systems) 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 of this product, including the need to provide proper drainage in the event of a discharge.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the FEBCO LF886V backflow preventer?

The primary purpose is to protect potable drinking water systems from contamination due to backpressure and backsiphonage in high hazard/toxic applications, commonly found in industrial settings.

What is ArmorTek® coating and what are its benefits?

ArmorTek® is a patented three-part advanced epoxy system applied to the iron components. It is engineered to reduce microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protect against general exposed metal substrate corrosion, extending the life of the assembly.

How does the SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor work?

The flood sensor detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When activated with an add-on connection kit, it relays a signal to trigger multichannel alerts (call, email, text) to notify personnel of potential flooding.

Is this backflow preventer considered lead-free?

Yes, this product features lead-free construction. The wetted surface of this product, which contacts consumable water, contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight, complying with low lead installation requirements.

What type of shutoff valves are included with this assembly?

This assembly is fitted with OSY (Outside Stem and Yoke) resilient wedge gate valves, which are UL Classified and FM Approved.
