The full port brass water valve meets the CA and VT drinking water requirements for lead free water valves.
The water leak detection system shuts off water only to the protected appliance. The unit responds to a moisture sensor by shutting off the water supply and sounding a water alarm: other household fixtures and appliances remain operational. Power is supplied by an AC adaptor/transformer or batteries. The output contacts allow the controller to connect with alarm, home automation or auto-dialer systems if desired. Installation is easy, usually within fifteen minutes.
Prevent Water Heaters from flooding your property:
Water heater life is limited: leakage occurs usually after years of corrosion. Generally almost maintenance free, water heaters when leaking can cause significant damage as the water is under constant pressure. Even small pressurized leaks can quickly flood and devastate a home. Often leaks are undetected for hours or even days.
