The 6" Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventor Valve Ductile Iron Coated is engineered specifically for fire protection systems requiring reliable backflow prevention with advanced monitoring. Designed for plumbing professionals and fire safety installers, this valve integrates a detector mechanism with sturdy grooved connections for seamless installation and robust performance.

• Main Body Material: Ductile iron with a fusion-bonded epoxy coating resists corrosion and mechanical wear, extending valve lifespan in challenging environments.
• Internal Components: Crafted from 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners, ensuring long-term durability and consistent operation under fire protection system demands.
• Valve Type: N Pattern Reduced Pressure Detector Valve featuring a grooved butterfly mechanism for precise flow management and rapid response to pressure variations.
• Seats and Seals: Made from high-grade elastomeric materials compatible with potable water, providing leak-tight shutoff across variable operating conditions.
• Grooved Ends: Built per AWWA C606 standards for grooved mechanical joints, enabling secure, vibration-resistant connections ideal for both new installations and retrofits.
• Regulatory Compliance: UL Listed under UL 312, FM Approved, and compliant with ASSE 1013, NFPA 13, and NFPA 25 standards to meet stringent fire protection and backflow prevention codes.
• Operating Parameters: Rated for continuous use up to 175 PSI and temperatures from 33°F to 140°F, supporting indoor and outdoor applications in diverse climates.
• Installation Flexibility: Suitable for horizontal or vertical piping (with upward flow), allowing versatile placement in mechanical rooms or confined spaces with grooved pipe layouts.

This valve enhances fire protection systems by providing continuous backflow detection through a differential pressure mechanism, enabling early alerts to potential contamination or leaks. Its grooved butterfly design simplifies installation and reduces maintenance downtime compared to flanged valves, making it ideal for environments subject to pipe vibration and thermal expansion. By supporting standard grooved piping connections and meeting multiple regulatory requirements, this valve helps maintain system readiness, safety compliance, and operational efficiency in critical fire sprinkler applications.
