Air Gap For 2" 4000B Fire Protection System Equipment

The Ames Backflows Air Gap for 2" 4000B Fire Protection System Equipment is a crucial component designed to ensure the integrity and safety of your fire sprinkler system. This robust plumbing component provides essential backflow prevention, protecting potable water supplies from contamination by creating a physical air barrier. It is specifically engineered to integrate with 2-inch Ames 4000B Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) assemblies, a common backflow prevention device in commercial and industrial fire safety installations.

• Designed for 2" 4000B Systems: This air gap is a factory replacement part precisely engineered for seamless compatibility with 2-inch Ames 4000B Series Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventers.
• Durable Construction: Made from bronze, as indicated by the visual details of the product, this air gap is built for longevity and to withstand the demands of fire protection environments.
• Effective Backflow Prevention: As a non-mechanical backflow preventer, it creates an unobstructed physical separation between the potable water supply and the relief valve discharge, preventing the reverse flow of contaminated water.
• Relief Valve Discharge Management: The air gap is designed to efficiently collect and funnel minor water discharges from the relief valve, which can occur due to slight check valve fouling or pressure fluctuations.
• Versatile Installation: It can be installed either vertically or horizontally to suit diverse system configurations, though a vent elbow is recommended for vertical installations.
• Conforms to Standards: This air gap helps ensure your fire protection system adheres to regulatory safety requirements and industry guidelines, including NFPA codes.

By integrating this Ames Air Gap into your fire protection system, you gain peace of mind knowing your water supply is safeguarded against hazardous contamination. It simplifies compliance with essential fire safety codes by providing a reliable and clear physical break in the plumbing, making it an indispensable part of a secure water evacuation system. Its easy installation and robust design contribute to maintaining fire system readiness and reducing potential risks associated with backflow.
