NOTICE
For Australia and New Zealand, line strainers should be installed
between the upstream shutoff valve and the inlet of the backflow
preventer.
Fittings such as end connectors intended to join alternative
pipe systems made from other materials (such as plastics) shall
also conform to the relevant dimensional and performance
requirements of the appropriate Australian, New Zealand,
or joint Australian–New Zealand Standard for the alternative
pipe system.
Testing
Check the ASSE Series 5000 manual for an appropriate test
method that is consistent with local codes of the area.
For Australia, refer to Australian standard AS/NZS 2845.3.
LF825Y with Flood Sensor
Series 825Y and LF825Y each 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 and 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 issues, power outages, or improper installation.
