Description

The 6" Reduced Pressure Detector Z Pattern Butterfly Valve is engineered specifically for fire protection systems requiring precise backflow prevention while enabling rapid response detection. Its Z pattern flow and integrated detector assembly provide reliable protection against potential cross-contamination by continuously monitoring differential pressure to identify backflow conditions early.

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)

Main Body: Manufactured from ASTM A536 ductile iron with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating to withstand subterranean and high-moisture mechanical environments.
Disc and Stem: Precision-machined stainless steel ensuring strength and smooth valve operation.
Seating: Resilient EPDM elastomer seats designed for positive shutoff and long service life under typical fire system temperatures.
Detector Assembly: Contains stainless steel internals paired with sensitive pressure detection sensors to monitor the reduced pressure zone continually.
Grooved End Connections: Conform to AWWA C606 standards, enabling quick coupling to compatible piping systems with standardized grooved couplings.

Regulatory Compliance

UL Listed: Compliant with UL 312 for Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventers, ensuring reliability in life safety applications.
FM Approved: Validated by Factory Mutual for use in fire protection and suppression systems.
ASSE Standards: Designed to meet ASSE 1013 for reduced pressure backflow preventers.
NFPA Compliance: Supports NFPA 13 standards for sprinkler system installation and NFPA 25 for inspection and testing protocols.

Operational Compatibility

Working Pressure: Rated for a maximum of 175 PSI (12.1 bar), suitable for high-demand fire protection lines.
Temperature Range: Operational between 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), accommodating typical potable water and fire system temperatures.
Connection Type: Standard 6-inch grooved ends (AWWA C606) for compatibility with common fire system piping without requiring flanged adapters.
Installation Orientation: Suitable for horizontal installation with vertical or horizontal flow, supporting versatile site integration.

This valve is ideal for fire protection contractors and facility engineers seeking an integrated reduced pressure backflow assembly with early detection capabilities. It directly addresses common fire system vulnerabilities by actively monitoring internal pressure conditions—alerting to potential contamination or valve failure before it compromises potable water safety. Unlike traditional reduced pressure assemblies without detectors, this model streamlines compliance testing and maintenance with built-in sensing that facilitates quicker diagnostics.

Thanks to the grooved-end configuration, installation time is significantly reduced on site, minimizing downtime during retrofits or new construction. Additionally, the durable ductile iron construction and corrosion-resistant coatings provide long-term reliability even in damp underground or mechanical room settings.

Choosing the 6" Reduced Pressure Detector Z Pattern Butterfly Valve means selecting a solution that not only prevents backflow hazards but also enhances system monitoring accuracy. It’s a practical investment for any facility prioritizing the integrity of its fire protection water supply and compliance with stringent safety standards.
