Installation Considerations

This unit is designed for quick installation on both new and existing washing machine hookups. It connects directly to the hot and cold supply lines and integrates with standard 3/4" hose threads. While the system is intuitive, proper installation requires attention to flow direction, valve orientation, and waterproof sensor placement. It’s recommended that contractors verify secure fittings and test for correct shutoff function during commissioning.

• Value-Add for Customers – Provides an additional layer of protection that homeowners appreciate, especially in finished basements or upper-floor laundry rooms.
• Minimal Maintenance – No battery replacement required; unit resets with the press of a button after leak resolution.

Application Scope

This FloodStop unit is suitable for any residential application where washing machines are installed. It’s particularly valuable in multi-family buildings, second-story laundry rooms, and finished interior spaces where water damage risk is high.
