    For maximum protection from system contamination, these valves have two integral check valves with a vent between them. If the primary check valve fails to close when flow stops or reverses, overflow is discharged through the vent and the secondary check valve prevents backflow.
    Chrome-Plated Brass Body—Chrome-plated brass valve is more corrosion resistant than plain brass valves.
    Threaded—Valves with a threaded vent can be connected to drain pipes to prevent spillage. They are designed for applications with continuous flow and are often installed on water supply lines to boilers, processing tanks, and other equipment.
    Unthreaded—Valve with an unthreaded vent is commonly used on laboratory faucets and other applications with intermittent flow. It discharges overflow directly and should not be installed in areas where spillage could cause water damage.
    Strainer—Strainers prevent debris from blocking the check valves.

    Easy-Maintenance Threaded Two-Stage Backflow-Prevention Valves for Drinking Water

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Backflow-Prevention Valves. Easy-Maintenance Threaded Two-Stage Backflow-Prevention Valves for Drinking Water, Dual Check.

    Dual Check

    Integral shutoff valves isolate flow for inline maintenance, and a top-entry cover provides easy access to internal components. These valves meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water. For maximum protection from system contamination, they consist of a primary check valve and a secondary check valve. If the first check fails to close when flow stops or reverses, the secondary check valve engages to prevent backflow. A strainer prevents debris from blocking the check valves.

    Keep backflow from contaminating your drinking water supply—these valves meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water. They consist of a primary check valve and a secondary check valve. If the primary check fails to close when flow stops or reverses, the secondary check valve engages to prevent backflow.
    Double Union—Double-union valves have a union fitting on both ends.
    Single Union—Single-union valves have a union fitting on one end.

    Two-Stage Backflow-Prevention Valves with Solder-Socket Fittings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Backflow-Prevention Valves. Two-Stage Backflow-Prevention Valves with Solder-Socket Fittings.
    Solder these valves to copper tubing for a permanent, leak-tight connection. They have two integral check valves with a vent between them for maximum protection from system contamination. If the primary check valve fails to close when flow stops or reverses, overflow is discharged through the threaded vent and the secondary check valve prevents backflow. Attach the vent to drain pipes to prevent spillage. These valves are designed for applications with continuous flow and are commonly used on water supply lines to boilers, processing tanks, and other equipment. All have an integral strainer to prevent debris from blocking the check valves.
