Ips Corporation 20003 Floodstop Water Heater Leak Detection Kit 1 Inch Npt Mip X Fip Motorized Ball Valve

Product Description

The IPS Corporation 20003 FloodStop Water Heater Kit is a point-of-use automatic leak detection and water shutoff system designed for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is built around a motorized, lead-free, full-port ball valve with 1 inch NPT MIP x FIP connections, making it compatible with standard water heater supply lines and many other plumbing fixtures. When the included water sensor detects moisture on the floor or surrounding surface, the control unit triggers the motorized ball valve to close automatically, stopping water flow before a small leak becomes a costly flood. At the same time, an audible alarm sounds to alert anyone nearby. This combination of automatic shutoff and alarm makes the 20003 a reliable first line of defense against appliance-related water damage.

Plumbers, builders, and property managers rely on automatic shutoff systems like the FloodStop 20003 to protect water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and other appliances. Water heater failures and slow supply line leaks are among the most common causes of interior flood damage in both residential and commercial buildings. The 20003 addresses this risk directly by mounting inline on the cold water supply to the water heater. Installation is straightforward for licensed plumbers using standard threaded fittings.

The control unit operates on the included AC power adapter. Four AA batteries, sold separately, can be used alongside the adapter to provide backup power in the event of an AC outage, ensuring the system remains active even during a power failure. The water sensor measures 1.25 inches by 7.5 inches and lies flat on the floor near the appliance. Multiple mounting options are supported through included screws, drywall anchors, and a hook-and-loop self-adhesive mounting pad. The FloodStop pigtail output also integrates with Building Management Systems, or BMS, sending a relay signal to notify facility managers of an alarm condition and valve closure. The CNC-machined ball valve is lead-free and full-port, which maintains strong water flow under normal operating conditions. The unit carries a one-year warranty and is suitable for use by professional plumbers, contractors, and facility maintenance personnel.

• Motorized lead-free, CNC-machined, full-port 1 inch NPT MIP x FIP ball valve closes automatically when a leak is detected
• Audible alarm activates on leak detection; control unit runs on included AC adapter with optional AA battery backup for uninterrupted protection
• BMS-compatible pigtail relay output allows integration with building management systems for remote alarm and valve status notification
