This Colt™ 8 inch reduced pressure detector backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of fire protection substances and water of non-potable quality from being pumped or siphoned into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and/or backpressure.
The assembly comes with a flood sensor featuring SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect continuous discharge from the relief valve, offering advanced monitoring capabilities for fire protection systems. An add-on sensor connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor's alert features.
