Protect your commercial and residential fire suppression systems, irrigation setups, and building water supplies against contamination using the Ames Backflows 4" Double Check Assembly with Grooved Butterfly Valve. This assembly isolates non-health hazards in cross-connections, securing potable water systems against backflow under fluctuating flow rates and pressures.
The main body features fusion-bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536 standards for robust corrosion resistance. Internal components utilize 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners to maximize durability, while check modules formed from glass-filled Noryl thermoplastic deliver consistent operational performance. EPDM elastomer valve seats can be reversed or replaced to maintain a tight seal over time. The unit supports horizontal or vertical upward flow orientations and incorporates a compact quarter-turn shutoff valve to reduce the overall assembly footprint. AWWA C606 grooved ends provide quick, leak-resistant installation on the job site.
