LFC500
Lead Free* Stainless Steel Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly Backflow Preventers with Flood Sensor - 2 1/2 - 10 IN Sizes
Features
- Sensor on the relief valve for flood detection
- Lead Free* stainless steel body with stainless steel internal parts
- Protects against backsiphonage, backpressure, and the fouling of either check valve
- Detects loss due to underground water leaks or unauthorized water usage
- Patented link check provides low pressure loss
- Flood alert feature activated with add-on connection kit, compatible with BMS and cellular communication
- Integrates with the Sensor Control Monitor to deliver maintenance alerts to BAS via RS-485 Modbus or the Nexa platform by Wi-Fi connectivity
- Integrated supervisory switch (UL Certified, Safety Signaling, Control No. 3L38) on outside stem and yoke resilient seated gate valve
Nexa pairs integrated sensing hardware with free, upgradable software to empower facilities with unprecedented visibility and control over their water systems, helping teams protect assets, deliver consistent performance, and drive measurable ROI.

Series LFC500 Lead Free* reduced pressure detector assemblies feature a flood sensor using SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect continuous discharge from the relief valve. When paired with an add on connection kit, the sensor is activated to relay alerts for potential flooding events. Connection kit options include BMS, cellular communication, and the Sensor Control Monitor which enables integration with BAS via RS‑485 Modbus or the Nexa® platform through Wi-Fi.
This series help stop the reverse flow of fire protection system substances being pumped or siphoned into the potable water supply. A meter incorporated to detect ground leaks and unauthorized illegal taps greatly reduces annual water expenses. It is 70% lighter than traditional designs and is ideal for health hazard cross-connections, such as on fire sprinkler systems. Check with local water authorities for installation requirements.

The TS-OSY model is equipped with a factory installed, durable, and robust supervisory switch (UL Certified, Safety Signaling, Control No. 3L38) for tamper detection. The alert sounds when attempts are made to remove the switch from the gate valve or to close the valve. Wiring of the supervisory switch to a fire alarm control panel is required.
