The 2-1/2" Groove Check Valve UL/FM for Fire Protection is engineered specifically for fire sprinkler systems, providing reliable backflow prevention to maintain water purity and ensure system readiness. Designed for fire protection contractors, facility managers, and industrial applications, this valve balances durability and ease of installation to meet stringent safety standards.

• Material Construction: Sturdy ductile iron body meeting ASTM A536 standards ensures long-lasting strength, while internal 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners resist corrosion in high-moisture environments common to sprinkler systems.
• Advanced Seal Design: Features a glass-filled Noryl™ valve disc for superior wear resistance, combined with EPDM elastomer seats that provide chemical stability and consistent sealing to prevent backflow.
• Regulatory Compliance: UL Listed under UL 312 and FM Approved, meeting ASSE 1012, NFPA 13, and NFPA 25 standards relevant to fire protection backflow prevention and sprinkler system maintenance.
• Operational Specifications: Rated for up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar), supporting both horizontal and vertical upward flow installations, ensuring versatile application within various piping layouts.
• Grooved End Connections: Designed with AWWA C606-compatible grooved ends to facilitate faster, weld-free installation and maintenance, minimizing downtime during system upgrades or inspections.
• Application Focus: Specifically designed to prevent reverse flow that can contaminate potable water supplies and compromise fire protection readiness in commercial and industrial settings.
