Model Overview

This is a reduced pressure assembly. Production began in 1990. Production was discontinued on the 3/4"-2" size in 1997. The body is constructed of fabricated stainless steel and utilizes a single top bolted entry access to the checks. The relief valve is mounted under the check body and has an external relief valve sensing line. The relief valve can be removed from the check body. On the 3/4"-2" size assembly there have been several versions of the relief valve utilized over the years. To be sure which version you have the serial number may be needed to order the correct repair parts. The checks are a cam operated design which is made of glass filled noryl. All versions have a modular check design so the springs will be contained and the seats will be replaceable. From 1990-1992 the 3/4"-2" size utilized an internal ball valve shut off design where the ball valve is built into the body of the assembly. From 1992 an external ball valve was externally screwed onto the body of the assembly.
