Description

Technical Specifications (Material Focus):
The 4" Double Check Assembly with Grooved Butterfly Valve integrates robust construction designed for reliability in both commercial and residential fire protection systems. The main body is fabricated from fusion-bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536 standards, ensuring resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. Internal check components utilize 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners for longevity and corrosion resistance. Check modules are made from glass-filled Noryl™ or an equivalent high-strength thermoplastic to maintain performance under variable flow conditions. The valve seats incorporate EPDM elastomer discs that are reversible and replaceable, providing a secure seal to prevent water contamination through backflow.

Regulatory Compliance:
This assembly is engineered to meet stringent industry certification and regulatory standards necessary to assure water safety and system reliability:

UL Listed under UL 1469 for fire service water control valves, confirming compliance with established safety protocols.
FM Approved by Factory Mutual, verifying suitability for integration within fire protection systems subject to rigorous testing.
Compliant with ASSE 1015, ensuring adherence to backflow prevention standards recognized across North America.
Designed to meet AWWA C510 criteria, supporting compatibility with municipal and industrial water systems.

Operational Compatibility:
The 4" Double Check Assembly is rated for a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI (12.1 bar), suitable for typical municipal water distribution pressures encountered in fire protection and industrial plumbing applications. It supports a temperature range of 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), accommodating conditions from near-freezing water systems up to elevated temperature environments often found in mechanical rooms. The assembly features a patented grooved end design consistent with AWWA C606 specifications for grooved pipe coupling, enabling quick, secure, and leak-resistant installation. The integrated butterfly valve provides a compact shutoff mechanism, with a quarter-turn operation for rapid flow control maintenance or isolation.

Performance and Use Cases:
This double check assembly offers critical protection against pollutants entering potable water through backflow in fire suppression systems, irrigation lines, and building water supplies. Its compact configuration and grooved connections make it particularly advantageous in retrofit projects or new installations with limited mechanical room space. The patented grooved butterfly valve enhances operational efficiency by combining valve isolation and backflow prevention in a single unit, simplifying system design and reducing potential leak points compared to assemblies with separate shutoff valves.

Installation and Maintenance Insights:
Compatible with both horizontal and vertical (upward flow) orientations, this assembly accommodates diverse pipe routing scenarios. The grooved connection design facilitates faster installation times and minimizes the need for skilled welding or threading operations, lowering labor costs and reducing downtime during system upgrades. Replaceable EPDM seats enable straightforward maintenance without the need for complete valve replacement, extending service life and reducing operating expenses. Pre-drilled test cocks support easy compliance with local testing requirements and NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 mandates for regular inspection and performance confirmation.

The 4" Double Check Assembly with Grooved Butterfly Valve by Ames addresses critical water safety concerns in fire protection and general plumbing installations by combining durable materials, regulatory adherence, and practical design innovations. It meets the needs of plumbing engineers, fire safety consultants, and facility maintenance teams seeking reliable backflow prevention with quick installation and minimal maintenance overhead, safeguarding potable water supplies from contamination risks associated with fluctuating pressure conditions.
