Watts 0004648 Wash Machine

Professional installers rely on the Watts 0004648 IntelliFlow A2C-SC to eliminate the primary risk of catastrophic water damage in residential laundry rooms. This automatic washing machine shutoff valve utilizes advanced current sensing technology to monitor the washer’s power draw. When you start a cycle, the A2C-M1 series control detects the amperage and opens the electric actuators, allowing water flow. Once the cycle completes and current drops, the valves automatically close, de-pressurizing the hoses and preventing bursts while the system is idle. This smart water shutoff is now WiFi-enabled, providing real-time text and email alerts during a leak event. The unit features 1/2-inch solder or threaded inlets and a floor-mounted leak sensor that triggers an immediate shutdown if moisture is detected. Built with a reinforced polysulfone body and designed for 120VAC, 15A circuits, it handles up to 150 psi and 180°F, ensuring long-term reliability for any washing machine flood protection install.

• Automated Flood Protection: Electronic sensors de-pressurize hoses when the washer is off, preventing the 500-gallon-per-hour discharge common in hose bursts.
• WiFi Connectivity: Enables remote monitoring and instant notifications via smartphone for enhanced property management.
• Multi-Factor Detection: Combines electrical current monitoring with a physical leak sensor for 360-degree protection.
• Contractor-Grade Construction: Features a durable polysulfone body, Buna-N diaphragms, and a replaceable internal strainer to protect against sediment.

Can I use this with a 240V stacked unit?
Standard operation is for 120V/15A appliances. For 240V units, a secondary A2-IntelliTimer or specific relay kit is required to sense the higher voltage current.

Does it require complex wiring?
No. This is a surface mount unit designed for easy retrofits. Simply plug the valve into a GFI outlet and then plug the washer into the valve's integral outlet.

What happens during a power outage?
The valve is designed to fail-safe; without power, the solenoids remain closed, ensuring no water can flow and maintaining the seal against potential leaks.
