Additional Details
The Colt 4 inch lead free reduced pressure detector backflow preventer assembly is engineered to prevent the reverse flow of non-potable water and fire protection substances into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage or backpressure.
This compact and modular assembly features a Z pattern horizontal installation and is constructed with a Type 304 (Schedule 40) stainless steel housing and sleeve.
Components & Features
- Includes two independent Link Check modules with reversible elastomer discs for drip tight closure against reverse flow.
- A differential pressure relief valve is centrally located between the check modules.
- Equipped with two drip tight shutoff valves and necessary test cocks.
- A bypass assembly with a gallon per minute meter is furnished to detect underground leaks and unauthorized water usage.
- Features grooved gear operated butterfly valves with tamper switch for reliable shutoff.
- An integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology detects continuous discharge from the relief valve, signaling potential flooding events.
- An add-on sensor connection kit can extend flood monitoring, integrating with building management systems (BMS), cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor for BAS/Nexa platform via Wi-Fi.
Installation Note: It is imperative to read all instructions and product safety information before installation. Ensure compliance with governing authorities for local installation requirements.
