The main body is fabricated from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability and longevity under continuous operational stress. Internal components include a resilient OS\u0026amp;Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) gate valve mechanism, facilitating precise isolation of water flow. Both ends feature female threaded connections engineered for secure and leak-resistant integration within existing piping networks. The assembly is designed with maintenance accessibility in mind, allowing for field servicing without system disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis assembly conforms to critical industry standards ensuring safe and reliable fire protection service:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Listed: Complies with UL 262 for control valves in fire protection systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFM Approved: Meets Factory Mutual's rigorous approval criteria for fire suppression equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFPA Standards: Supports compliance with NFPA 13 for sprinkler system installation and NFPA 25 for inspection and testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEngineered for high performance in fire service scenarios, the assembly is rated for a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI (12.1 bar), accommodating typical building water supply conditions for fire suppression. The operating temperature range spans 33°F to 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C), ensuring reliable operation in diverse environments. Female threaded connections at both ends simplify integration with ASTM A53 or A106 steel piping, common in fire protection infrastructure. The OS\u0026amp;Y gate valve provides clear visual indication of valve status, enhancing operational safety during emergency use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 3\" RP Assembly with Female by Female OS\u0026amp;Y is specifically beneficial for fire protection contractors, facility managers, and industrial plumbers seeking dependable valve assemblies that combine ease of installation with robust performance. It addresses common concerns such as leakage prevention, accessibility for maintenance, and compliance with rigorous fire safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompared to other valve assemblies, this unit offers enhanced operational transparency through the OS\u0026amp;Y design, allowing users to verify valve position quickly without disassembly. The female threaded connections allow adaptability in retrofit projects, reducing downtime and installation complexity. Its resilient construction materials ensure long service life even under aggressive water conditions found in municipal and industrial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProper installation involves ensuring alignment with pipe threads and using appropriate sealants to maintain leak-tight connections under pressure. Routine inspection for corrosion, wear on the valve stem, and seal integrity aligns with NFPA 25 requirements, prolonging the assembly's reliable service.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"data table additional-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption class=\"table-caption\"\u003eMore Information\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Item Number\" class=\"col data\"\u003eC400OSYFG-0300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Brand\" class=\"col data\"\u003eAmes Backflows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eBox Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Box Quantity\" class=\"col data\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fire Protection Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43296161202266,"sku":"C400OS\u0026YFxG-0300","price":4868.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/0637\/7818\/files\/2-12-rp-assembly-wfxg-osy-759821_71671993-baa6-413a-9ecc-41ae2f201dbb.jpg?v=1777601915","url":"https:\/\/patriotsafesource.com\/products\/3-rp-assembly-female-by-female-os-y-backflow-preventer-valve","provider":"Patriot SafeSource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
