The Febco Bronze Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer Assembly is specifically designed to prevent the reverse flow of high-hazard (toxic) fluids found in the water from contaminating potable water systems due to back-siphonage or backpressure, meeting the stringent requirements of national plumbing codes and water authority regulations.
Designed for low head loss, this assembly is constructed with a durable bronze body, ensuring long-lasting performance and compliance with industry standards. It is equipped with threaded quarter turn ball valves, angle union connections, test cocks, spring-loaded Y pattern check valves, and a hydraulically dependent differential relief valve.
Meeting all specifications of AWWA and ASSE, this compact integral assembly has an extremely short lay length, simplifying new and retrofit installations which are advantageous in areas of limited space. The integral flanged union connections allow it to be removed from the line for freeze protection or maintenance without the danger of spool substitution.
This assembly is suitable for a wide range of applications, including water services to industrial plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, and chemical plants. It is also used in irrigation systems, boiler feeds, water lines, and other installations where maximum protection is essential.
At Febco we combine theory with practice to design and manufacture top quality, high-performance backflow prevention assemblies and flow control products. And we're here to not only set the industry standards, but to deliver the quality, performance, and affordability you demand in backflow prevention. Let's keep things safe.
The assembly shall be rated to 175psi (12.1 bar) water working pressure and water temperature range from 32°F to 140°F (0°C – 60°C).
