The Watts Bronze Anti-Siphon Pressure Backflow Preventer provides the ultimate mechanical protection against cross-connection hazards. Engineered to prevent the backflow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to back-siphonage and backpressure, this preventer stands as a steadfast barrier, ensuring the purity of potable water.
Featuring a comprehensive array of features, this backflow preventer is constructed with a highly durable bronze body, ensuring long-lasting performance and compliance. It is equipped with a silicone rubber check valve disc, replaceable plastic check valve seat, female NPT inlet and outlet connections, stainless steel springs, a bonnet with silicone rubber O-ring seal, a lightweight plastic disc float, quarter-turn lever handle shutoffs, and test cocks for winterization draining.
Designed with practicality in mind, it facilitates effortless maintenance with its inline serviceable configuration, providing easy internal access, thereby minimizing downtime and operational disruptions. Additionally, it has a minimum operating pressure of 15 psi (55 kPa) and a maximum pressure of 150 psi (10.3 bar), a broad pressure range ensuring that it remains effective under varying conditions, providing continuous protection against backflow. It is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications and is ideal for continuous pressure applications, such as irrigation systems and industrial process water systems where water enters the equipment at or below its flood rim.
