62 In X 53 In X 46 In Aluminum Stucco Protective Insulated Backflow Enclosure - WB-6000AE

Backflow prevention assemblies subjected to potential freezing conditions shall be protected with the WattsBox enclosure as shown.

The enclosure shall be of reinforced aluminum construction, providing access through doors for testing/certification purposes. It must also be totally removable for maintenance purposes. The enclosure shall be structurally lined with a unicellular, non-wicking insulation consisting of a sandwich laminate or applied by spray. It shall contain a thermostatically controlled heat source mounted to the interior wall or on the backflow preventer to provide protection to -30°F. No wood or “particle board” shall be allowed in assembly. Insulation mounted with glue will be cause for rejection. Power source will be protected with a ground fault circuit interrupting receptacle, UL Standard 943, NEMA 3R, installed by others, inside the box.

The enclosure shall contain drain openings sized to accommodate the maximum discharge of the reduced pressure zone assembly. Drain openings shall open to discharge under the most severe conditions. These openings are protected against intrusion of either wind, debris or animal. The enclosure is provided with means of permanent anchor and “lockable” access doors and/or lid to prohibit theft or vandalism.

All “wet” portions of the backflow prevention assembly shall be protected within the enclosure. Fire department hose connections and OSY indicating valve handles shall be maintained outside the enclosure.

The enclosure shall be factory assembled and delivered to the site ready to install with no drilling, screwing or riveting of enclosure required on site. The enclosure and the backflow preventer shall be covered by a single warranty policy. Enclosure shall be a Watts Series WattsBox.
