Common Questions
- What hazard level is this Dual Check approved for?
- It is rated for low health hazard (non-toxic, "pollutant") cross-connections only. Where the substance downstream could be a health hazard, codes require a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assembly instead. The assembly is listed to ASSE 1024.
- Is this model legal for potable water?
- Yes. It is certified lead-free to NSF/ANSI 372, which is what state plumbing codes require for any device in a drinking-water line.
- Can this device be field tested?
- No. It has no test cocks and is not a testable assembly, so it cannot be certified by a backflow tester. Where a jurisdiction requires an annually tested device, specify a testable assembly (double check, RPZ, or PVB) instead.
- Is this listed for fire protection service?
- Yes — it is UL Classified, the listings normally required for a backflow device on a fire sprinkler supply.
- How does this have to be installed?
- It is approved for either horizontal or vertical installation, with the flow arrow on the body pointing in the direction of flow.
