Watts 88004111 Valve
The Watts 88004111, also recognized by technicians as the LF009M3-QT-FS, is a 3/4-inch Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventer assembly designed for high-hazard cross-connections. This unit features a heavy-duty lead-free bronze body and incorporates two independent check valves with an intermediate relief valve. Built for continuous pressure applications, it excels in protecting potable water supplies from backsiphonage and backpressure in accordance with national plumbing codes. The "QT" designation confirms the inclusion of two quarter-turn ball valve shutoffs with tee handles, ensuring rapid isolation during field testing or service. Unlike standard models, this version comes with an integrated SentryPlus Alert flood sensor, which, when paired with an optional connection kit, monitors relief valve discharge to mitigate flood damage in mechanical rooms.
For the service contractor, the modular design of the Watts 009 series is a major advantage. It utilizes a single access cover for top-entry to all internal components. Captured springs and replaceable seats allow for fast, safe in-line repairs without removing the unit from the piping. This 3/4-inch NPT assembly is rated for a maximum working pressure of 175 psi and fluid temperatures up to 180°F. If you are retrofitting or performing a new install, the Watts 88004111 RPZ valve provides the industry-standard performance needed for irrigation, boiler feed, and industrial processing lines.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:
- Modular Top-Entry Design: Allows for immediate access to all internals via a single cover, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
- Integrated SentryPlus Alert: Built-in flood sensor technology detects excessive discharge, enabling remote alerts (requires sensor connection kit).
- Lead-Free Bronze Construction: Built with a corrosion-resistant copper silicon alloy body to meet rigorous potable water safety standards.
- Safe Serviceability: Features captured springs and replaceable check seats for simplified and safer field repair.
- Compact Footprint: Reduced installation clearances required thanks to the internal relief valve and inline body pattern.
Common Technical Questions:
What is the difference between the 009QT and 009QT-S?
The 88004111 (009QT) is provided "less strainer." If a strainer is required by local code to protect the check valves from debris, a separate Watts Y-strainer must be installed or a "QTS" model utilized.
Does this unit include the flood sensor communication module?
While this unit includes the integrated flood sensor on the relief valve, the electronic connection kit (BMS or Cellular) is sold separately to activate the alerting functionality.
Can the relief valve be repaired in the field?
Yes, the internal relief valve features replaceable seats and is fully accessible through the top cover, a standard feature for Watts backflow preventers in this size range.
