This assembly meets the specifications of the USC FCCC and HR Manual. The maximum working pressure is 150 psi (10.3 bar) and temperature range is 32° F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C). The pressure vacuum breaker includes a freeze sensor for use with SentryPlus Alert(R) technology to signal when ambient temperature approaches the freeze threshold. Activated through an add-on connection kit, the sensor also triggers freeze alerts to facility personnel. Connection kit available for building/irrigation management system (BMS/IMS).
