TO PURCHASE CALL:
Protect your home or business against water
damage.
A burst washing machine hose can discharge 500 gallons
of water in one hour and cause a flood of problems.
The Intelliflow's™ automatic operation protects
against catastrophic water damage, should a water inlet
hose burst while the machine is not in use and
unattended.
Protect your home or business with the IntelliFlow™
automatic washing machine shutoff valve and enjoy peace
of mind.
How
It Works
The Watts IntelliFlow™ Automatic Washing
Machine Shutoff Valve uses a state-of-the-art electronic
control device that senses the washing machine current
flow. When the washing machine is turned on, the
controls detect the current flow to the washer, opening
both hot and cold water inlet valves to allow water to
flow to the washing machine. When the washing machine
completes the full cycle the device senses the lack of
current and closes the water inlet valves. These valves
remain closed until the machine is used again. The
IntelliFlow’s™ automatic operation and floor mounted
leak sensor protect against catastrophic water damage
should a washing machine inlet hose burst while the
machine is in use.
Specifications
The contractor shall install an electrically actuated
washing machine shutoff valve on the hot and cold water
supply as indicated on the drawings. The electrically
actuated washing machine valve shall be normally closed.
The electrically actuated washing machine valve shall
contain an integral electrical outlet capable of
receiving a standard three-prong 115 VAC washing machine
power cable. The valve shall actuate both the hot and
cold water valves simultaneously upon detection of
current flow at the integral electrical outlet which
shall remain actuated until the detection of the
interruption of current flow at the integral electrical
outlet.
The valve shall be equipped with a 5 foot 14 AWG power
cable. The valve shall be rated for 115 VAC, 60 Hz with
a maximum standby current draw of less than one (1)
ampere and a maximum appliance current draw of 15
amperes. The valve shall have a maximum pressure rating
of 150psi (10 bar) and a maximum temperature rating of
180°F (82°C). The valve shall be UL listed for appliance
controls. The electrically operated washing machine
shutoff valve shall be equipped with a leak sensor. Upon
detection of water at the leak sensor, current flow to
both the hot and cold water valves shall be immediately
interrupted. The valve shall be a Watts Intelliflow™
Model A2C-M1 surface mount unit or Model A2C-WB-M1 wall
box unit.

|
Used in conjunction with the A2C-M1 or
A2C-WB-M1, the leak sensor provides the maximum
level of protection. Should water be detected at
the leak sensor at any time, the water flow to
the washing machine hoses will be cut off
immediately. This protects against catastrophic
water damage regardless of the operating cycle
of the washing machine. |

The Watts A2-IntelliTimer is used in conjunction
with the Watts IntelliFlow™ Automatic Washing
Machine Shutoff Valve. It is a remote timer
which allows the IntelliFlow™ to be used in
applications where the washing machine or a
combination washer/dryer is 220 VAC powered.
(The IntelliFlow™ is not compatible with 220 VAC
powered appliances). The timer initiates a
two-hour cycle when the button is depressed. The
A2-IntelliTimer low voltage power supply is
plugged into the IntelliFlow™ power outlet. The
remote solid-state timer is installed in a
location that is convenient to the user and
connected to the low voltage power supply.
Activation of the push button on the timer
causes current flow, which is detected by the
IntelliFlow™. The IntelliFlow™ then actuates the
solenoid valves, allowing water to flow to the
washing machine. This also begins a timing
sequence of two hours, which, upon its
completion, de energizes the IntelliFlow™,
shutting off the flow of water to the washing
machine. The timing sequence can be interrupted
by activating the push button a second time. A
Green LED is illuminated whenever the A2-
IntelliTimer is energized. |

The new Intelliflow™ Models A2C-M1
and A2C-WB-M1 also include a leak
sensor. The water sensor is placed
on the floor behind the washing
machine.
Upon detection of water at the
sensor, the IntelliFlow™
automatically shuts off the water
supply to the washing machine.
This provides an additional level of
security, should a hose burst while
the washing machine is in operation.
