Description

The 6" Double Check Detector With Grooved Butterfly Valve is engineered for backflow prevention in fire protection and potable water supply systems where contamination prevention is critical. Designed specifically for detection of unauthorized water use while maintaining system integrity, this assembly combines robust double check valve technology with a grooved butterfly valve for enhanced operational efficiency and maintenance access.

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)

Main Body: Ductile iron construction coated with fusion-bonded epoxy to resist corrosion and mechanical stress.
Internal Components: 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners ensure reliable valve function under repeated cycling.
Check Valve Elements: High-strength, glass-filled Noryl™ thermoplastic check modules provide low wear and long-term sealing performance.
Valve Seals: EPDM elastomer seats are reversible and replaceable to maintain consistent leak-tight operation over extended service intervals.
Valve Type: Butterfly valve with grooved end connections (AWWA C606) allows rapid installation and alignment in tight mechanical room or underground piping configurations.

Regulatory Compliance

UL Listed to UL 1469 standards specifically for fire service water control valves, ensuring suitability in life safety systems.
FM Approved by Factory Mutual demonstrating rigorous testing for fire protection applications.
Compliant with ASSE 1015 standards for double check detector backflow preventers to meet municipal backflow requirements.
Meets AWWA C510 guidelines detailing installation and testing for double check valves in potable water systems.
Designed to support NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 standards for sprinkler system installation and ongoing inspection/testing protocols.

Operational Compatibility

Pressure Rating: Rated for continuous operation at up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar), accommodating most commercial fire water supply mains and municipal water systems.
Temperature Range: Operates reliably between 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), suitable for typical indoor mechanical spaces and underground environments.
Connection Type: Grooved ends (per AWWA C606) allow quick and secure coupling to standard grooved pipe systems common in fire protection infrastructure.
Installation Orientation: Compatible with horizontal and vertical (upward flow) piping layouts for flexible system design.

This 6" Double Check Detector Valve with integrated grooved butterfly valve addresses common backflow prevention challenges by combining contamination control with flow detection capability. Ideal for commercial building fire sprinkler systems and municipal water servicing, it detects unauthorized flow while preventing pollutants from entering potable supplies.

The grooved butterfly valve streamlines installation and maintenance compared to traditional flanged systems, reducing downtime during system testing or servicing. The durable construction and industry-certified compliance provide installers and facility managers reassurance that the assembly will withstand harsh conditions without compromising performance.

In applications requiring reliable detection of unauthorized water usage or leakage, such as multi-tenant buildings or public water supply monitoring, this detector backflow preventer offers precise performance and ease of integration. It supports compliance with local and national fire codes while promoting operational efficiency through simplified valve actuation and testing access.

By selecting this assembly, water system professionals minimize contamination risks and improve system visibility—all while ensuring compatibility with current fire protection best practices. The design considerations embedded within this product make it a practical choice for those seeking a robust, fully compliant solution for their detection and backflow prevention needs in complex commercial plumbing systems.
