• Installed upstream of Reduced Pressure Zone
Backow Preventer.
• Normally Open Valve - Closes when discharge from
RPZ Relief Valve is sensed or by engaging Solenoid
Manual Operator.
• Limit Switch provides local visual and remote
electrical indication of valve closure.
• Valve must be manually reset. Pressure gauge
(provided) indicates valve reset for automatic service
• Anti-Scale Coated Main Valve Stem for added

• Fail Safe operation - Valve closes upon Main Valve
or Pilot Diaphragm failure.

Operations
The Watts Flood Protection Shutdown Valve system
prevents catastrophic property damage that can occur due to Relief Valve discharge and/or a blocked or
overwhelmed oor drain during normal relief valve operation. Typical conditions which can cause continuous
relief valve discharge are:
• Fouled First Check Seat due to dirt, debris or rocks
• Failed First Check Spring
• Clogged or blocked Relief Valve Sensing Line
• Relief Valve Diaphragm failure
The Watts 113-12RFP Flood Protection Shutdown
Valve is a normally open valve designed to be installed
upstream of a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Backow
Prevention device. It is normally open and closes driptight when continuous relief valve discharge through the
drain pipe is sensed by the FS99 Flow Sensor, energiz-
ing the Solenoid Pilot. The Solenoid Pilot is equipped
with a Manual Operator which simulates power when
manually engaged. The valve mounted JB113 Junction
Box is equipped with an adjustable time delay to avoid
valve closure due to intermittent or nuisance relief valve
discharge. The Limit Switch provides local visual and
remote electrical indication of valve closure. The valve
remains closed and cannot re-open if ow stops or electrical service is interrupted, and must be manually reset
after the RPZ is diagnosed and/or repaired.
The valve comes complete with the valve mounted JB113
Junction Box with adjustable time delay, pre-wired Solenoid Valve, Manual Reset with Pressure Gauge, Limit
Switch and FS99 Flow Sensor (eld installed). Fail-safe
operation is assured by closing valve upon Main Valve
or Pilot Diaphragm failure and a specially coated Main
Maximum continuous flow based on velocity of 20 ft. per second.
Maximum intermittent flow based on velocity of 25 ft. per second.
The Cv Factor of a value is the flow rate in US GPM at 60° F that will cause a 1 psi drop in pressure.
The factors stated are based upon a fully open valve.
Cv factor can be used in the following equations to determine Flow (Q) and Pressure Drop (∆ P):
CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO CONNECT MAIN POWER
AND FS99 FLOW SENSOR TO JB113 JUNCTION BOX
The valve mounted JB113 Junction Box is a lockable NEMA 4 enclosure equipped with an adjustable time delay,
electrical relay and terminal strip. There are three 3/4 inch conduit connections. The valve solenoid is prewired.
The valve is normally open and closes drip-tight when continuous relief valve discharge through the drain pipe is
sensed by the FS99 Flow Sensor.
The valve mounted JB113 Junction Box is equipped with an adjustable time delay to avoid valve closure due to
intermittent or nuisance relief valve discharge. The time delay is adjusable from 0-30 seconds.
Adjusting the dial clockwise increases the time delay for valve closure. Adjusting the dial counterclockwise decreases the time delay for valve closure.
