OVERVIEW
Auto Shutoff Through Water Leak & Freeze Sensor: When paired with Resideo's
WiFi Leak Detector(s), L5 WiFi Water Leak Shutoff Valve should be able to shut off
your water line automatically before the damage becomes catastrophic. One L5
WiFi Water Leak Shutoff Valve can be paired up to 30 Resideo WiFi Leak
Detectors.
Control the L5 WiFi Water Leak Shutoff Valve Remotely Via the App: Whether you
are on your way to the airport or at a remote location, control the valve's on or off
status wherever you are.
Manual Override to Turn On or Off Water: When needed, the valve can be turned
on or off by using the emergency handle on the L5 Actuator. We recommend this
handle be used only in emergencies. For normal manual override, short press the
power button to open or close the valve.
Easy Install: Standard ball valve makes it easy for a licensed plumber to install.
