Connections
- It connects into the main water line via its domestic outside stem and yoke (OSY) resilient seated gate valves.
- The integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology requires an add-on connection kit (not included) for active communication and to send alerts regarding potential flooding events.
- Connection kit options include those for Building Management Systems (BMS), cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor, which enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.

Additional Details
This compact modular design consists of a stainless steel body with a quick access sleeve, link check valves, domestic outside stem and yoke (OSY) resilient seated gate valves, test cocks, and a corrosive resistant bottom-mounted pressure relief valve. The assembly comes furnished with a bypass without a meter to detect underground leaks and unauthorized water use. This backflow assembly contains a flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When paired with an add-on connection kit, the sensor is activated to relay alerts for potential flooding events.
Features
- Provides protection to the potable water system from contamination in accordance with national plumbing codes
- Utilized in health-hazard applications to protect against backsiphonage, backpressure, and the fouling of either check valve
- Features
Lead Free * construction to comply with Lead Free* installation requirements - Includes a
flood sensor withSentryPlus Alert® technology to detect continuous discharge from the relief valve - Flood sensor relays a signal that triggers a multichannel alert (call, email, text) to notify personnel about potential flooding (with add-on sensor connection kit)
-
Extremely compact design and 70% lighter than traditional designs -
Type 304 (Schedule 40) stainless steel housing and sleeve -
Groove fittings for integral pipeline adjustment -
Patented link check for lowest pressure loss -
Unmatched ease of serviceability with replaceable check disc rubber - Available with domestic
OSY resilient seated gate valves Bottom-mounted cast stainless steel relief valve - Bypass without a meter to detect leakage or theft of water from the fire sprinkler system
- Includes an integrated supervisory switch as an option on each gate valve of the OS&Y model
An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive component and will not communicate with any other device.
