Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and a standard RPZ?
The 860 SMALL is designed for smaller pipe systems and limited installation space, with all the same protective benefits.

Can the flood sensor shut off the water?
No — it monitors and alerts. A separate shutoff mechanism must be installed for auto-shutdown.

Is it suitable for irrigation zones?
Yes — especially for chemical-treated or high-contamination risk systems.
