Description
This device consists of two (2) independently acting check valves, internally force loaded to a normally closed position, designed and constructed to operate under intermittent or continuous pressure conditions.
Size Range
The device shall be designed to accommodate the following nominal pipe sizes: ¼ NPS, ⅜ NPS, ½ NPS, ⅝ NPSM, ⅝ NPS, ¾ NPS, 1 NPSM, 1 NPS, 1-¼ NPSM, 1-¼ NPS, 1-½ NPS, and 2 NPS (8 DN, 10 DN, 15 DN, 18 DN, 20 DN, 25 DN, 32 DN, 40 DN, and 50 DN).
Pressure Range
The device shall be designed for a working pressure of up to a minimum of 160 psi (1103 kPa).
Temperature Range
a) Cold water service ranges from 40.0 °F to 110.0 °F (4.4 °C to 43.3 °C), or the manufacturer's maximum rated temperature, whichever is greater.
b) Hot water service ranges from 40.0 °F to 180.0 °F (4.4 °C to 82.2 °C), or the manufacturer's maximum rated temperature, whichever is greater.
Flow Capacity
