FAQs

What is a Double Check Valve Detector Assembly (DCV-DA)?

A DCV-DA is a backflow prevention device that features two independently operating check valves in series, along with a bypass line containing a smaller detector check valve. It is designed to protect potable water systems from contamination due to backpressure or back-siphonage from non-health hazard sources.

What does 'DI BODY' signify for this backflow preventer?

The 'DI BODY' specification means the backflow preventer's main casing is constructed from ductile iron. Ductile iron is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in water system applications.

What type of connections does this 4-inch DCV-DA use?

This device uses 'FLG X FLG', meaning flanged connections on both the inlet and outlet. Flanged connections provide a strong, leak-tight seal and allow for relatively easy installation and removal of the device for maintenance or inspection.

What kind of hazards does a Double Check Valve Detector Assembly protect against?

A DCV-DA is specifically designed to protect against non-health (non-toxic) hazards. This means it prevents the backflow of substances that are objectionable but not toxic, such as those that might affect taste, odor, or color of the potable water.

What certifications does the Zurn Wilkins 4-inch DCV-DA hold?

This 4-inch Zurn Wilkins Double Check Valve Detector Assembly is certified to industry standards including CSA B64.4 and ASSE 1015, ensuring it meets recognized performance and safety requirements for backflow prevention devices.
