This Watts LF909 Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer is designed to integrate with various systems to enhance monitoring.
Sensor Connectivity
- The integrated flood sensor requires an add-on sensor connection kit for full communication functionality.
- Connection kit options include direct integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), cellular communication, or the Sensor Control Monitor.
- The Sensor Control Monitor enables integration with BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.
Installation Notes
- A drain line installation is recommended for proper discharge in the event of relief valve operation.
- When installing a drain line, an air gap is necessary to prevent cross-connection.

Additional Details
This 8 inch lead free reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly prevents reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage or backpressure. It features an epoxy coated cast iron body, outside stem and yoke (OSY) resilient seated gate valves, and a flood sensor.
Key Features
- Equipped with a flood sensor featuring SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve.
- An add-on sensor connection kit is available for activation, allowing alerts for potential flooding events to be relayed.
- 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.
- ArmorTek® coating technology, a patented 3-part advanced epoxy system, resists microbial induced (MIC) and exposed metal substrate corrosion.
- NYC version includes four sets of 304 stainless steel bolts/nuts with a 1/4 inch hole drilled axially through the bolts and a restrictor plate to limit discharge.
- Features replaceable seats and stainless steel internal parts for durability and easy maintenance.
- Contains captured spring check assemblies and a field reversible pressure differential relief valve.
- Includes top mounted test cocks for easy testing.
An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor for communication. Without the kit, the sensor will detect excess flow but will not communicate with external devices. Installation of a drain line is recommended. An air gap is necessary when installing a drain line.
