APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Did you know – Water from a burst washing machine hose can produce approx. 6 gallons
of water a minute. That’s 650 gallons (2.5 tons!) of water in an hour.
The RS-090-E is suitable for installation on new construction, facility upgrades, tenant
build-outs and retrot projects. Care should be taken to ensure necessary rough opening
space for outlet box (7.75” X 9” X 3.75”), along with hot and cold feed line positioning/
spacing (2.52” on center). Also requires 120V AC power outlet within 6’ of the leak
detection receiver.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW:
The system features an outlet box with built-in leak detection receiver for simultaneous
hot and cold water automatic shut-off when a leak is detected. The kit also includes pre-
installed water hammer arrestors on both the hot and cold water lines. The leak detection
receiver is powered by a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Outlet box is secured to studs
using supplied mounting straps. Water supply lines and appliance hoses connect at the
appropriate points to the leak detection receiver, and the mechanical water shut-off device
resides in between. Place leak detection water sensor on the oor next to or under the
washer and plug the unit into the wall outlet. Finish installation by mounting supplied trim
plate and securing drain hose in the provided 2-3/8” ID opening.
Emergency manual operation of the water shut-off valves is accomplished by
disconnecting power to the unit. In the event of a power failure, the valves will fail closed
(water off).
RDT recommends that installations be completed by a licensed plumber to ensure that all
local codes requirements are followed.
