Installation Flexibility

  • This assembly is designed for drop-in replacement of competitor's valves in both the N-pattern (horizontal) and Z-pattern (vertical up) orientations.
  • It is approved for horizontal and/or vertical-up installations, providing versatility for various plumbing layouts.

Connection Compatibility

The backflow preventer should be installed on the potable water supply at each point of cross-connection to protect against backsiphonage and backpressure conditions for non-health hazard applications. The end connections are compliant to ASME B16.1 Class 125 & AWWA Class D Flange standards.

Additional Details

This 10 inch lead free FEBCO MasterSeries LF870W Double Check Valve Assembly is specifically designed to prevent the backflow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage and backpressure. It is ideal for protection in continuous pressure piping applications and at cross-connections identified as non-health hazards and for other non-toxic contaminants at the service line entrance.

Features

  • Lead Free* construction to comply with low lead installation requirements. *The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.
  • ArmorTek® coating technology to resist corrosion of internals, reducing microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and protecting exposed metal substrate.
  • Longer gate-to-gate length for drop-in replacement of longer valves.
  • In-line serviceable assembly design for easy maintenance without special tools.
  • Approved for vertical up/vertical down N-pattern and vertical up Z-pattern installations.
  • Features a captured modular spring assembly, reversible and replaceable discs, and field replaceable seats.
  • Ductile iron valve body design with stainless steel check components.
  • Includes a winterization feature with disc retainers and valve body drain ports.
  • Clapper check assembly with commonality between 1st and 2nd check components.
  • Captured O-ring design.

Construction
