Watts 0121580 Detector
The Watts 0121580 LFWDS-E220 is a specialized 3/4 inch water leak detection system designed to protect residential and commercial properties from catastrophic water heater failure. Operating on 220V power, this lead-free unit is engineered for electric water heaters, providing a dual-action response by simultaneously cutting the incoming water supply and the electrical power source upon detecting moisture. Unlike basic sensors, the LFWDS-E220 utilizes state-of-the-art water detection technology without exposed terminals, eliminating the risk of corrosion and ensuring long-term reliability in damp environments. For professional contractors, this system offers a testable and resettable interface, allowing for rapid verification of protection after installation or maintenance without the need for specialized tools or proprietary components.
Key Benefits
- Comprehensive Flood Protection: Automatically shuts off both the 3/4" water line and 220V electrical circuit to prevent flooding and heating element fire hazards.
- Corrosion-Resistant Technology: Advanced sensors with no terminals to corrode ensure the system remains operational even in high-humidity mechanical rooms.
- Lead-Free Reliability: Constructed with Lead-Free Copper Silicon Alloy, complying with all safety standards for potable water systems.
- System Integration: Features built-in contacts for connection to monitored building automation systems or home security alarms for remote notifications.
- Robust Site Compatibility: Includes a dedicated water dam for installation on concrete, tile, or linoleum, ensuring water is funneled directly to the sensor.
Common Questions
Is the Watts 0121580 compatible with 1-inch plumbing lines?
Yes, while it features a 3/4" nominal connection, it is rated for use in systems ranging from 3/4" to 1" (20mm to 25mm) water supply lines.
Can I test the sensor without damaging the unit?
Absolutely. The system is designed to be easily testable and resettable by plumbing inspectors or HVACR technicians to confirm the 150 PSI-rated safety valve and electrical cutout are functioning correctly.
Does this unit work during a power outage?
This model is a hardwired 220V system; however, an optional battery backup (WDS-BB) can be integrated to maintain protection for up to three days during electrical failures.
