Watts 0887972 Repair Kit
Re-establish the integrity of your backflow assembly with the Watts 0887972 Repair Kit (RK 008-T), specifically engineered for 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch spill-resistant pressure vacuum breakers. As a veteran in the field, you know that consistent performance in indoor point-of-use applications depends on a tight seal and precise spring tension. This total rubber parts kit is compatible with Watts Series 008, 008PC, LF008, and LF008PC models, addressing common failure points like mineral buildup and disc compression that lead to nuisance tripping or downstream leakage. Replacing the internal check valve assembly and corresponding O-rings ensures the module maintains its 150 psi maximum working pressure rating and prevents backsiphonage of contaminated fluids into the potable water line. This backflow preventer check repair kit includes a high-grade elastomer check disc, stainless steel spring, and all necessary seals for a full internal overhaul without requiring specialized extraction tools.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Modular Compatibility: Fits 3/8" and 1/2" 008 series, including poly-coated (PC) and lead-free (LF) variants.
- Complete Internal Overhaul: Includes check assembly, spring, vent O-ring, and bleed screw O-ring to restore factory-spec pressure differentials.
- Optimized for Indoor Use: Maintains the spill-resistant functionality critical for equipment and machine-mounted plumbing applications.
- Field-Proven Materials: Features ruggedized elastomers and corrosion-resistant springs to withstand harsh water conditions.
Is this kit the same for the 008 and 008PC models?
Yes. While the 008PC features a poly-coated bronze body, the internal check components provided in the 0887972 repair kit are identical for both standard and poly-coated 3/8" to 1/2" valves.
What are the signs that my check valve needs a rebuild?
Continuous dripping from the vent or a failure to maintain the required 1 psi differential across the check during annual testing typically indicates a fouled disc or a fatigued spring that requires immediate replacement.
Does this kit include the bonnet?
No, the RK 008-T is a check repair kit. If you have a cracked bonnet or a leaking air inlet, you would require the RK 008-B (0888012) in addition to these parts.
