Reduced Backflow Preventer (CX)
Product Code: CX
Basic Applications:
The CX models is installed upstream of sprinklers, water heaters, and branch pipes of each flat.
Product Description:
The CX unit combines unparalleled backflow prevention with an extraordinarily low head loss. The unit incorporates a double check valve system of two independently acting, spring-loaded, poppet-type check valves. These valves function along side an automatic pressure differential relief valve that has been designed to be “normally open” during abnormal flow conditions.
Features:
- Most Effective Water Security Device Preventing Total Headloss
- Length Reduced by 50%
- Head Loss Reduced by 50%
- Bronze Prevents Contamination of Potable Water
- Simple & Easy Installation and Maintenance
These two features in combination with the unit’s reduced pressure principle have created a system that is the industry leader in safeguarding potable water supplies against the threat of cross-connection. The CX unit also consists of three test cocks to facilitate easy field testing and two easy-tight nuts that drastically reduce the time needed for installation.
