Description

The 8 inch lead free MasterSeries Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventer protects potable water from high hazard and toxic fluids in industrial applications. This assembly features a longer gate-to-gate lay length for easy drop-in replacement of competitor N-pattern valves. Constructed with a durable ArmorTek® coated ductile iron body and stainless steel relief valve seat and check components for corrosion resistance and extended life. It includes a SentryPlus Alert® flood sensor to detect excessive water discharge. An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required for active flood monitoring capabilities. Item number F8007372.

This 8 inch MasterSeries® LF880W-LG RP-FS assembly is designed for drop-in replacement of competitor's N-pattern valves due to its longer gate-to-gate length. It comes with flanges compliant to ASME B16.1 Class 125 and AWWA Class D Flange for connection to the main potable water supply.

The integrated flood sensor requires an add-on connection kit (sold separately) to activate and communicate alerts for potential flooding events. Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor which enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.

This assembly is supplied without shutoff valves (LG), meaning isolation shutoffs will need to be provided separately for installation.

Additional Details

This 8 inch lead free MasterSeries® Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventer assembly is designed to protect potable drinking water systems from contamination by high hazard (toxic) fluids in industrial installations and applications.

It features a longer gate-to-gate length for drop-in replacement of competitor’s N-pattern valves and is supplied without shutoff valves.

Key Features

  • Lead Free construction to comply with low lead installation requirements
  • Designed for drop-in replacement of competitor's N-pattern valves due to longer gate-to-gate length
  • Durable ductile iron valve body design with ArmorTek® coating for corrosion resistance of internal and external surfaces
  • Stainless steel relief valve seat and stainless steel check components for maximum performance and durability
  • Integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve

  • Supports vertical up or vertical down N-pattern installation
  • Captured modular spring assembly; clapper check assembly
  • Reversible and replaceable discs
  • Field replaceable seats
  • Modular and repairable pressure differential relief valve

Flood Sensor Details

  • The flood sensor relays a signal that triggers a multichannel alert (call, email, text) to notify personnel about potential flooding.
  • An add-on connection kit (sold separately) is required to activate the flood sensor.
  • Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor which enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.

Important Warnings

  • An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive component that does not communicate with any other device.
  • 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.
  • The information contained herein is not intended to replace the full product installation and safety information available or the experience of a trained product installer. You are required to thoroughly read all installation instructions and product safety information before beginning the installation of this product. Inquire with governing authorities for local installation requirements.

FAQs

What is the primary function of this backflow preventer?

This 8 inch Lead Free MasterSeries RPZ backflow preventer protects potable drinking water systems from contamination by high hazard (toxic) fluids due to backpressure or backsiphonage in industrial installations and applications.

Does this backflow preventer include shutoff valves?

No, this particular model (LG) is supplied without shutoff valves. You will need to source and install them separately.

What is the purpose of the integrated flood sensor?

The integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve, providing an early indication of potential flooding or system issues.

How does the flood sensor communicate alerts?

The flood sensor is a passive component on its own. It requires an add-on connection kit (sold separately) to activate and relay alerts via BMS, cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor (for BAS/Nexa®).

What are the maximum operating pressure and temperature ratings for this assembly?

The maximum working pressure for this assembly is 175 psi (12.1 bar), and it can operate continuously within a temperature range of 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C).
