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 3/4"-2" sizes have had two different versions produced. From 1990-1992 the internal check mechanisms were of modular construction made of a glass filled noryl. The checks were a cam operated check mechanism. The ball valve shut-offs were built into the body of the assembly in the older style. In 1992 a new version was produced where the ball valve shut-offs used are external ball valves that screw onto the body of the assembly. In 1992 the check module working mechanism design was changed to a pivot design. Production was stopped on the 3/4"-2" in 1997.
