Watts 0072205 Valve
The Watts 0072205, also designated as the LF7RU2-2, is a high-performance 1-inch dual check valve backflow preventer engineered for continuous pressure applications in residential and light commercial water systems. This assembly is built with a lead-free copper silicon alloy body to meet strict potable water standards while providing superior corrosion resistance. It features an inline, poppet-type construction that minimizes pressure drop and ensures smooth flow characteristics without chatter or vibration. The Watts LF7RU2-2 incorporates two independent, replaceable check modules with stainless steel springs and Santoprene discs, ensuring a positive seal against reverse flow at the service entrance or individual outlets. Designed for versatile installation, this 1" FNPT backflow preventer can be mounted in both vertical and horizontal orientations. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI and a temperature range of 33°F to 180°F, making it a reliable choice for protecting potable water supply from non-health hazard cross-connections.
Key Benefits- Lead-Free Construction: The copper silicon alloy body ensures compliance with lead-free regulations for safe residential water supply integration.
- Low Pressure Loss: Poppet-style check valves maintain a high flow rate with minimal resistance, preventing significant PSI reduction in downstream fixtures.
- Flexible Installation: Compact design allows for 1" NPT threaded connections in either horizontal or vertical piping layouts.
- Simplified Maintenance: Features replaceable check modules and stainless steel parts for long-term reliability and easy in-line servicing.
- Durable Trims: Equipped with EPDM seals and Santoprene discs for consistent performance across high-temperature ranges.
Where should the Watts 0072205 be installed?
This dual check valve is typically installed immediately downstream of the water meter or at the service entrance to provide backflow prevention for the entire building.
Is the LF7RU2-2 suitable for high-hazard applications?
No, this assembly is designed for non-health hazard applications. For high-hazard containment requiring a relief valve, a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) assembly should be used instead.
What causes a dual check valve to fail?
The most common cause of failure is debris fouling the check modules. Installing an upstream strainer is highly recommended to protect the internal stainless steel springs and rubber seats from sediment.
