Overview
Low lead dual check valve backflow preventer is designed for
residential domestic water supply lines or commercial low-hazard
backflow applications. It prevents reverse flow of unsafe water into
main system water supply. This can occur due to pressure changes
in the distribution network that can force water flow in reverse, or
backwards. The two inline serviceable check valves prevent any
contact between the two systems, closing automatically when
backflow conditions occur.
The Caleffi 3048 series FlowShield™ DuC complies with standards
ASSE 1024, CSA B64.6, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 (180 °F/82 °C Commercial
Hot), NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 and codes IPC, IRC, UPC certified by ICCES.
