4000SS 5000SS 2nd Check Valve Stainless Steel for Suppression
Shipping calculated at checkout
The Ames Backflows 4000SS/5000SS 2nd Check Valve installs directly inside commercial backflow preventer assemblies to stop reverse water flow in fire suppression systems. By securing municipal and private water supplies against contamination, this component maintains vital system pressure readiness and directly satisfies life safety and hydraulic requirements outlined in NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 during facility inspections and AHJ audits.
Engineered for retrofits and new infrastructure, this check valve minimizes hydraulic pressure loss to ensure efficient water delivery during a fire event. Its versatile layout supports both horizontal and upward-flow vertical installations, helping you fit tight mechanical room footprints while maintaining strict code compliance.
