The Watts 009M3 is a 3/4 inch Reduced Pressure Assembly (RPA) backflow preventer designed to prevent the flow of polluted water from entering the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and/or backpressure in accordance with national plumbing codes and water authority requirements. The main body construction is bronze. A lead-free version was introduced in 2010. It features a compact modular design for easy maintenance with a single access cover for in-line repairs. It includes bronze body construction, NPT inlet and outlet connections, quarter-turn full port resilient seated ball valve shutoffs, captured springs for safe maintenance, and an internal relief valve for reduced installation clearances. The valve has replaceable seats for economical repair and screwdriver slotted test cocks.
