Description

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)

Main Body: Precision-fabricated with fusion-bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron (ASTM A536), ensuring extended corrosion resistance and structural integrity in both mechanical room and subterranean installations.
Internal Components: Utilizes 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners engineered to withstand demanding fire protection environments without compromising component longevity.
Check Modules: Constructed from glass-filled Noryl™ or an equivalent high-strength thermoplastic, providing reliable valve operation and resistance to mechanical wear.
Seats: Employ reversible, replaceable EPDM elastomer discs designed for a positive seal off, critical in preventing backflow contamination.
Connection Type: Features Patgrooved butterfly end connections uniquely designed for quick installation and compatibility with standard 3" grooved piping systems, enhancing system modularity and ease of maintenance.

Regulatory Compliance

UL Listing: Certified to UL 1469, affirming compliance with fire service water control valve requirements.
FM Approval: Factory Mutual tested and approved specifically for fire protection system applications, reinforcing reliability in critical environments.
ASSE Standard: Meets ASSE 1015 for backflow prevention assemblies, ensuring effective contaminant exclusion from potable water.
AWWA Compliance: Constructed in accordance with AWWA C510 standards, aligning with industry benchmarks for backflow assemblies.
NFPA Compatibility: Supports compliance with NFPA 13 for sprinkler system installation and NFPA 25 for inspection, testing, and maintenance practices, including provisions for differential pressure testing via integrated test cocks.

Operational Compatibility

Pressure Rating: Rated for maximum operational pressure of 175 PSI (12.1 bar), suitable for typical commercial and industrial fire suppression system pressures.
Temperature Range: Engineered to operate reliably between 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), accommodating standard service environments without risk of component degradation.
Installation Orientation: Designed for both horizontal and vertical (upward flow) configurations, providing installation flexibility in diverse piping layouts.

This 3" Double Check Detector N Pat Grooved Butterfly Assembly is a practical solution for plumbing contractors, fire protection engineers, and facility managers focused on protecting potable water systems. Its Patgrooved butterfly end connections reduce installation time and complexity compared to flanged alternatives, while the double-check detector mechanism actively monitors backflow conditions—a feature particularly valuable in fire sprinkler setups prone to pressure fluctuations and potential contamination risks.

Unlike generic backflow assemblies, this model integrates detection capabilities that facilitate compliance with rigorous fire code requirements, allowing for proactive maintenance through early detection of cross-connection failures. Its construction with ASTM A536 ductile iron and corrosion-resistant coatings ensures it withstands the harsh operational environment of fire protection systems, reducing downtime and replacement frequency.

Before installation, users should verify compatibility with their piping standards and confirm system pressure does not exceed the 175 PSI rating. The inclusion of reversible EPDM seats simplifies field servicing, reducing lifecycle costs without sacrificing performance reliability.
