Overview

Watts Series FS-CWM-S FloodSafe® Braided Stainless Steel Washing Machine Connectors are designed for use in residential & commercial applications, specifically for hookups to the washing machine water supply. They include a patented FloodSafe® shutoff device on the inlet side to protect against catastrophic water damage. There are no mechanical moving parts during normal operation and no power source is required. FloodSafe® connectors consist of PVC tubing jacketed with braided stainless steel and require no tube cutting, bending, or soldering during installation.

Problem
In recent years, losses due to water and mold damage to residential and commercial buildings have been steadily on the rise. Water supply hoses are vulnerable to a number of potential problems. Over time, hoses can become brittle and burst. Poorly manufactured hoses can break under normal pressure conditions and hoses used in public venues are highly vulnerable totampering by vandals. All of these conditions can lead to a flood of problems for homeowners, property managers and maintenance personnel.

Solution
Watts FloodSafe® auto-shutoff connectors protect against catastrophic water damage by automatically shutting off the water supply to plumbing fixtures/appliances if excess water flow is sensed. Water flow through the FloodSafe® device is limited to a factory preset flow rate, any flow over the preset rate will automatically shutoff all flow of water through the device.

How it Works
FloodSafe® is actuated by flow of cold or hot water in excess of the design flow rate indicated on the label. Once a downstream flow of water in excess of the flow required by any standard fixture/appliance is detected, FloodSafe® assumes a burst and the flow of water is shutoff. FloodSafe® remains in the closed position until it is reset. To help illustrate this, check out the FloodSafe® Video
