Description

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)
The 10" Reduced Pressure Detector with OS&Y features a rugged construction optimized for fire protection applications. The main body is fabricated from fusion-bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron (ASTM A536), offering robust resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress typical of fire service environments. Internal components, including springs and fasteners, are constructed from 300-series stainless steel to ensure longevity and reliable operation under temperature fluctuations and water exposure. The detector incorporates precision-machined check modules made with high-strength, glass-filled thermoplastic to maintain consistent performance. Sealing is accomplished using reversible, replaceable EPDM elastomer discs, ensuring a positive shut-off to prevent backflow hazards while accommodating wear without full assembly replacement.

Regulatory Compliance
This reduced pressure detector assembly conforms to stringent regulatory standards critical for fire safety and potable water protection:

UL Listed: Certified to UL 312 for reduced pressure principle backflow preventers in fire protection service.
FM Approved: Approved by Factory Mutual for fire protection reliability and durability.
ASSE 1013: Meets American Society of Sanitary Engineering criteria for reduced pressure assemblies.
AWWA C511: Designed to comply with American Water Works Association standards for reduced pressure principle backflow preventers.
NFPA Compliance: Supports adherence to NFPA 13 (Installation of Sprinkler Systems) and NFPA 25 (Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance), equipped with pre-drilled test cocks for mandatory annual performance validation.

Operational Compatibility
Engineered for fire protection systems requiring reliable backflow prevention, the 10" Reduced Pressure Detector with OS&Y is rated for maximum working pressures up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar). It accommodates a temperature range from 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), suitable for residential and light commercial fire protection installations. Connections are offered in flanged configurations compliant with ANSI B16.1 standards and feature Outside Stem & Yoke (OS&Y) gate valves providing positive shutoff and visual indication of valve position. The assembly supports both horizontal and vertical (upward flow) installation orientations, enhancing flexibility in varied piping layouts.

The integral OS&Y gate valves facilitate isolation of the detector for maintenance without disrupting the entire fire protection system. The combination of a reduced pressure principle assembly with the OS&Y valves ensures dependable prevention of back-siphonage or backpressure events, protecting potable water supplies from contamination during fire protection flow conditions.

Use Cases and Application Insights
This 10" Reduced Pressure Detector with OS&Y is particularly suited for residential properties where reliable fire sprinkler system monitoring and water supply protection are crucial. It addresses common safety concerns such as preventing contaminants from sprinkler system piping entering the household water supply, a vital compliance requirement for many local codes. Ideal for retrofit projects or new construction, the assembly’s robust materials and installation flexibility reduce downtime and maintenance costs. Its OS&Y gate valves provide straightforward isolation for annual inspections or repairs, ensuring effortless compliance with NFPA 25 testing mandates.

How It Compares in Practical Terms
Compared to alternative backflow prevention assemblies, this model integrates the convenience of OS&Y gate valves directly with the reduced pressure detector, reducing installation complexity and space requirements. Material choices balance durability and corrosion resistance with serviceability—stainless internal components reduce seize risks, and EPDM seats allow replacement without full disassembly. This design lowers long-term operational costs and prevents common failure modes observed in less robust residential backflow devices.

Professional installers and facility managers benefit from its tested reliability and clear compliance alignment, making it a dependable option for ensuring potable water safety in residential fire sprinkler applications.
