This Colt™ 6 inch reduced pressure detector backflow preventer assembly is designed to protect potable water supplies from contamination.

It prevents the reverse flow of non-potable water and fire protection substances into the drinking water supply due to backsiphonage or backpressure, making it ideal for cross-connections identified as health hazards, such as fire sprinkler systems and service line entrances.

A WARNING: It is illegal to use this product in a plumbing system providing water for human consumption, such as drinking or dishwashing, in the United States. Before installing this product, consult your local water authority, building and plumbing codes.

Key Components

• Stainless steel body with quick access sleeve
• Two independent Link Check modules
• Domestic outside stem and yoke (OSY) resilient seated gate valves
• Corrosion-resistant bottom-mounted pressure relief valve (cast stainless steel)
• Gallons per minute meter for leak and unauthorized water use detection
• Bronze body nickel plated test cocks (Lead Free*)

Flood Detection & Monitoring

• Integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.
• An add-on sensor connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor for active alerts. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive component and will not communicate with any other device.
• Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor for integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.
• Optional integrated supervisory switch on each gate valve.

Design & Performance

• Extremely compact design, 70% lighter than traditional models.
• 304 (Schedule 40) stainless steel housing and sleeve.
• Groove couplings for easy installation and pipeline alignment.
• Patented link check for lowest pressure loss.
• Unmatched ease of serviceability with replaceable check disc rubber.
• Suitable for horizontal, "Z" pattern horizontal, and "N" pattern horizontal configurations.

NOTICE: The 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. Watts® is not responsible for the failure of alerts due to connectivity issues, power outages, or improper installation.
