Watts® LF009 Series, 1/2" Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer, Quarter Turn Shutoff Valves

Watts LF009 Series Backflow Preventer is engineered to stop contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply due to backsiphonage or back pressure. Reversal of normal water flow can draw contaminants that can pose a significant and serious health risk to consumers. 

The clever design boasts large body passages, resulting in a low-pressure drop, complemented by a space-efficient structure that ensures easy installation even in the most confined spaces. Requiring no specialized tools, maintenance and servicing are straightforward with a single access cover and modular check valve design that streamlines the process. The top entry design grants immediate access to all internal components, making it even more convenient. For safer maintenance, springs are securely captured, and the presence of an internal relief valve significantly reduces the amount of space needed for installation. The longevity of the LF009 backflow preventer is economically enhanced with replaceable seats for an economical repair. Test cocks are screwdriver slotted for simplicity and accessibility in tight or hard-to-reach-places, making them adaptable for various environments. 

Watts LF009 Series Backflow Preventer plays a crucial role in maintaining safety and quality water across various industries, including food and beverage, municipal water and sewage systems, fire protection systems, and agriculture and irrigation.
