The device shall be contructed from unleaded bronze

with less than 0.05% lead content (Federalloy I-836 or
approved equal). It shall consist of two (2)
mechanically independent, spring loaded, center stem
guided check valves. The device shall have a cast
unleaded bronze body, with a single access cover. The
assembly shall have four (4) vertical test cocks and two
shut off valves which are quarter-turn, full-port,
resilient seated and ball type which are constructed
with low lead material, less than 0.25% lead content
(ASTM C90500) or approved equal.
The seat of each check valve shall be constructed from
Noryl? and shall be replaceable. The check valves
shall be held into place by stainless steel clips and the
check valve assemblies shall be non-interchangeable
with silicone discs.
The backflow preventer shall be suitable for supply
pressure up to 175 psi and water temperatures
from 33? to 180? F.
