Need for Periodic Inspection/Maintenance:
This product
must be tested periodically in compliance with local codes, but at
least once per year or more as service conditions warrant.
If installed on a fire suppression system, all mechanical checks,
such as alarms and backflow preventers, should be flow tested
and inspected in accordance with NFPA 13 and/or NFPA 25.
Corrosive water conditions and/or unauthorized adjustments
or repair could render the product ineffective for the service
intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the product’s internal
components helps assure maximum life and proper product
function.
NOTICE
For Australia and New Zealand, line strainers should be
installed between the upstream shutoff valve and the inlet of the
backflow preventer.

LF009-FS
Series 009 assemblies, sizes ½" to 3", include a sensor on the
relief valve to detect excessive discharge and trigger notification
of a potential flood event.
NOTICE
An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood
sensor. Without the connection kit, the flood sensor is a passive
component that has no communication with any other device.
(A retrofit sensor connection kit is also available for existing
installations. See “Add-on and Retrofit Sensor Connection Kits,”
for ordering details.)
NOTICE
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 or power issues.
