March 4, 2025 – Floodstop®, the industry-leading point-of-use leak detection device, now delivers even greater convenience with the addition of a ¾” Press-Connection Valve. This latest enhancement gives installers more options when it comes to helping homeowners prevent costly water damage that can occur around water heaters.
Floodstop® is designed to automatically detect leaks and shut off the water supply, preventing potential flooding disasters before they begin. The moment water is detected, the advanced motorized ball valves shut off the water flow and trigger an alarm, ensuring immediate action can be taken. Including this upgrade, homeowners, plumbers, and builders can continue to trust that Floodstop® provides the strongest defense against appliance and fixture-related floods.
“With this latest enhancement, Floodstop® proves its commitment to leak detection and to the professional plumber by making water heater kit installations easier than ever before,” said Trey Brady, Sr. Director & General Manager, Water Damage Prevention at IPS Corporation. “By adding this press-connection option, we continue our commitment to providing the best leak detection and prevention solutions on the market.”
