About Backflow-Prevention Valves

1 1/2 to 4 Pipe Size Bronze

Repair Kit for 1 1/2 to 4 Pipe
Size Bronze Valves and
303 Stainless Steel Valves

The heat-resistant rubber seal withstands temperatures up to 500° F. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

Use bronze valves when corrosion is not a concern.

Repair kits include everything you need to rebuild the valve.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Replacement Flapper

For Use With: Water
Disc Material: PVC Plastic
Seal Material: PVC Plastic

Also known as backwater valves, these prevent backflow of sewage and wastewater in drain, waste, and vent systems. Insert unthreaded pipe into the socket ends and bond with primer and cement to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. Valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. A removable cap provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.
