Low resistance backflow preventer
Low resistance backflow preventer
Product Overview | The Low Resistance Backflow Preventer is a high-efficiency device designed to prevent reverse flow and protect water supply systems from contamination while minimizing pressure drop. Featuring an optimized flow path and advanced sealing technology, this backflow preventer ensures reliable operation and energy efficiency in potable water, fire protection, and industrial systems. Constructed from stainless steel, bronze, or ductile iron, this valve is durable and corrosion-resistant, suitable for applications requiring high flow rates and low maintenance. Its low resistance design reduces energy consumption, making it an ideal choice for systems where pressure loss is a critical concern. | |||||||||||||||
Applications | Potable Water Systems: Protects municipal water supply networks from backflow contamination. Fire Protection: Installed in sprinkler systems and fire hydrant networks. Industrial Processes: Safeguards process water systems in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Irrigation: Prevents fertilizers and chemicals from entering the water supply.
