Description

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)
The 3" Double Check Detector in the N Pattern configuration incorporates a tandem backflow prevention design paired with an Outside Screw & Yoke (OS&Y) valve, offering robust control and isolation capabilities. The body is constructed from ductile iron meeting ASTM A536 specifications, coated for corrosion resistance to ensure longevity in diverse installation conditions. Internal components such as springs and fasteners are manufactured from 300-series stainless steel, delivering durability and resistance to corrosion. Check modules utilize engineered thermoplastics, selected for wear resistance and stable sealing performance. Elastomer seats are made from EPDM, known for resilience and effective sealing against water contaminants, with reversible and replaceable discs for ease of maintenance.

Regulatory Compliance
This assembly is engineered to meet critical industry and safety standards necessary for commercial fire protection and potable water safeguarding applications. It carries UL Listing per UL 1469, verifying its suitability for fire service water control applications. The device is FM Approved, confirming its approved performance under Factory Mutual standards for fire protection equipment. Additionally, it meets ASSE 1015 backflow prevention standards, ensuring compliance with public health requirements. The assembly fulfills specifications outlined by the American Water Works Association (AWWA C510), supporting installation according to established municipal guidelines.

Operational Compatibility
Rated for continuous operation up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar), the 3" Double Check Detector accommodates typical fire protection system pressures, including high-demand sprinkler and standpipe lines. The OS&Y valve offers full visual indication of valve position, facilitating straightforward system maintenance and testing. Connection options include flanged ends conforming to ANSI B16.1 and grooved ends per AWWA C606 standards, allowing versatile integration into a wide range of mechanical rooms or underground piping configurations. The assembly supports installation in both horizontal and vertical orientations, with upward flow to optimize operational reliability and prevent water stagnation.

The 3" Double Check Detector N Pattern with OS&Y Valve excels in applications requiring reliable detection and isolation of fire line pressure changes to monitor unauthorized water use or leakage while maintaining backflow prevention. It is ideal for municipal water systems, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities where potable water protection and fire system integrity are mandated. The OS&Y valve design significantly simplifies quarterly and annual inspection tasks by providing positive valve shutoff and easy access. Its rugged ductile iron construction and corrosion-resistant internals ensure long-term performance under harsh environmental conditions.

This product addresses common challenges faced by fire protection system engineers and facility managers by combining backflow prevention with detection capability, enabling early leak or usage identification to reduce water loss and system failures. Unlike standard check valve assemblies, the integrated detector port facilitates connection of pressure differential monitoring equipment, allowing remote diagnostics to conform with NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 inspection procedures.
