Watts 0122693 Preventor
The Watts 0122693 (Series LF009M2-QT-S) is a 1-inch reduced pressure zone assembly engineered for high-hazard hydraulic applications. This RPZ backflow preventer provides a critical barrier against both backsiphonage and backpressure, ensuring the integrity of potable water supplies in industrial and commercial plumbing systems. The unit features a lead-free bronze body and includes an integrated bronze strainer to protect internal components from fouling. Its compact modular design utilizes a single access cover, allowing for rapid in-line service and maintenance of the check valves and relief valve. The assembly is equipped with two independent check valves, captured springs for safe handling, and replaceable seats for long-term field reliability. Professional installers value this model for its quarter-turn ball valve shutoffs with tee handles, which provide positive closure and simplified testing via the four resilient seated test cocks. Rated for pressures up to 175 psi and temperatures between 33°F and 180°F, this assembly meets strict national plumbing codes and health hazard protection standards.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Internal Relief Valve: The hydraulically operated differential relief valve is contained within the body, reducing installation footprint in tight mechanical rooms.
- Durable Construction: Built with a lead-free bronze or cast-copper silicon alloy body to resist corrosion and comply with modern lead-free installation requirements.
- Serviceability: Features a top-entry, single-cover design and modular check assemblies for easy access to all internal parts without removing the valve from the line.
- Integrated Protection: Included bronze strainer captures sediment and debris, preventing 90-95% of common first check valve failures.
- Safe Maintenance: Captured spring assemblies prevent sudden tension release during disassembly, enhancing technician safety.
- Why is the relief valve dripping continually? This usually indicates a fouled first check valve or debris trapped in the relief valve seat; cleaning the internal modules typically resolves the pressure differential failure.
- Can this unit be installed in a pit or submerged location? No, RPZ units must be installed in accessible areas with adequate drainage to the air gap to prevent the relief valve from being submerged.
- What is the minimum pressure drop required for operation? As an ASSE 1013 compliant device, it requires a minimum pressure loss (typically 12 psi) to maintain the zone between the checks.
