AMES 2000SS 2 1/2-4" #1 CHECK ASSEMBLY

2 1/2 to 4 Inch First Check Kit, for 2000 and 3000SS, First Check. This is an original manufacturer repair product used within various divisions of the Watts Water Technology Company (Ames, Febco, Watts)

Model Overview

This is a double check assembly. Production began in 1990. The body is constructed of fabricated stainless steel. There is a single top mounted cover for access to internal parts. All versions utilize a modular check design. It is modular so that the springs are contained and seats are replaceable. The 2 1/2"-12" check mechanism is made of a glass filled noryl. The checks are modular in construction so that springs will be contained and seats are replaceable. The check design is a cam operated mechanism. In the 2 1/2"-6" sizes the check modules are not field repairable and the whole check module must be replaced for a proper repair. The 8"-10" check does have a rubber disc that is field replaceable. There is a 2000 SE design in the 2 1/2", 6", & 8" Sizes. The differences between the SS and SE model is that the SE utilizes internal parts one size smaller than the pipe size: (e.g. a 8" 2000 SE would contain 6" check modules, a 6" 2000 SE would contain 4" check modules). Be sure which version you have because parts will be different. The 2 1/2" SE was discontinued in 2003. The 6" and 8" SE models were discontinued in 2006.
