FloodStop Water Heater 1.25 Inch Ball Valve (NPT) AM-FS125NPT

Water Valve Shut Off Prevents Water Damage

Prevent water damage from faulty water heaters with the Floodstop water system. Water heaters fail due to water pipe or tank corrosion. The FloodStop 1 1/4 NPT Water Alarm and Automatic Water Valve offers cheap water leak protection for water heaters and all 1.25 Inch water pipes.

Full-port motorized brass ball valve is water sensor activated. This plumbing device reduces risk of water damage from cracked water pipes or broken water pipes. This failure activated floor system control device helps protect from leaking water heaters, toilets and all water using applicants.

FloodStop (FS 1 1/4-NPT) automatically shuts off water intake lines for water heaters or other protected water appliances and sounds an internal alarm. Toilets, sinks, dishwashers and other household water appliances remain operational. Dual powered by an AC adapter/transformer and batteries. Output contacts can connect Flood Stop controller with security alarm, home automation or auto-dialer home monitors so homeowner or business can receive alert that a water leak occurred. Installs easily in fifteen minutes by homeowner, handyman or plumber.

Water heaters have a limited life of 5 to 10 years due to tank and pipe corrosion. Leaks occur without warning. Floodstop saves you from costly property damage and high water bills from continuous running or leaking water. 24-hour protection comes at a reasonable price. Shuts off water heater cold water supply and sounds loud alarm.

Unlike more expensive "Whole-House" shut off systems that need a plumber to install, Flood Stop "Point-of-Use" systems are affordable and easily installed.

To install, connect valve to the water heater cold water supply line. Mount the control unit. Place sensor(s) on floor. Plug power supply into an unswitched outlet. Note: Electricity is used only when the sensor detects water.

NOTE: Do not place sensor directly on metal pan or damp floor. If alarm sounds without a water leak, place paper towel or cloth under sensor to "insulate" against dampness of floor or metal of pan. When paper or cloth gets wet, the sensor activates the shut-off and sounds the alarm.
