1000SS Detector Check Valve

Detector check valve
Ames 1000SS DCV detects any leakage or unauthorized use of water from Fire or automatic sprinkler systems on an application where no backflow assemblies are required. During time of minimal water flow, the valve clapper remains closed so that the water flows through the by-pass meter. When a major water flow is required, the water pressure will fully open the clapper to maximize water flow.

Retro-fit
The Next Generation Silver Bullet has the shortest end-to-end dimensions in the industry. The reduced lay length provides you with the ability to install a backflow prevention assembly in the same actual space of an existing single detector check valve. The improved flow characteristics and shorter end-to-end dimensions allow the Next Generation Silver Bullet to be installed without revising the existing piping system! Fully approved backflow prevention protection in an existing detector check valve installation!
