Abstract
A device and system for sensing high pressure in a pressurized water system. The high pressure alarm includes a pressure sensor, controller, and timer. A method of installing a high pressure alarm on a pressurized water system. The high pressure alarm is particularly well-suited for installing under a sink, such as a home kitchen sink, though it can also be installed near other plumbing fixtures or appliances in commercial, residential, or industrial facilities and in outside areas.
Claims26
A device for sensing high pressure in a pressurized water piping system comprising:
- a high pressure sensor connectable to a power source, the high pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure of the pressurized water piping system;
- a timer;
- a controller in communication with the pressure sensor and the timer, the controller configured to generate a notification when the sensed pressure is greater than a selected value for a selected time.
A system for sensing high pressure in a pressurized water piping system comprising:
- a water shut-off valve connected to a plumbing fixture or appliance;
- a pressure sensor fluidly connected to the water shut-off valve;
- a power source connected to the pressure sensor;
- and
- an alert connected to the pressure sensor and the power source.
A method of installing a high pressure alarm on a pressurized water system comprising:
- disconnecting a water line from a shut-off valve;
- connecting the high pressure alarm to the shut-off valve;
- and
- connecting the water line to the high pressure alarm.
A kit for sensing high pressure in a plumbing system comprising:
- a plumbing pressure monitor comprising a housing containing a pressure sensor, controller, and alert configured to sense pressure in the pressurized water system and alert a user to a high pressure condition in a plumbing system;
- a tee-fitting;
- a conduit connectable to the pressure sensor at one end and the tee-fitting at the other.
