True Seal Check Modules

Untitled Document
Doug Powell

The first check valve in the Deringer 40/50 (RP & RPDA) products can be reconfigured to operate exactly like a traditional poppet. It was designed this way because the first check valve in an RP or RPDA backflow prevention valve provides the best flow performance when it operates like a traditional poppet style check valve. So not only are our check modules Dual-Action they are Dual Purpose.

The True Seal Check Valve was designed to incorporate a poppet only motion during the check stroke and is used exclusively on the first check assembly on the Deringer RP and RPDA models. This design allows a more consistent pressure loss across the check valve which helps maintain a steady and continual closure of the Relief Valve.

  • Light weight engineered polymer components
  • Modular for easy removal of complete check from body
  • Easily disconnect spring tension for safe check servicing
  • Replaceable Silicone Rubber Elastomer Disk
  • Excellent resistance to fouling.

This gif demonstrates the actuation of the first check valve in the Deringer 40/50 (RP & RPDA). Same components as the Dual-Action checks reconfigured to provide the best performance for an RP or RPDA.

Features:

  • 100% of check stroke is that of a poppet check
  • Consistent static sealing
  • Excellent resistant to fouling
  • Reliable check closure
  • Stable flow characteristics at ALL flow rates

Tamper Resistant Test Cocks

A new website graphic for the tamper resistant test cocks (ball valves) located on all Deringer products. The top of the valve actuation stem has a unique shape that uses an independent custom wrench to open/close the test cocks.

SS705 Butterfly Valve Product Line

The great thing about designing a backflow prevention device with "built in" stainless steel shut off valves is after the UL/FM approval process we end up with an additional product line for FREE.

Introducing the Backflow Direct SS705 Line of Fire Protection Stainless Steel Shut-off Valves with pre-wired tamper switches.

We believe the SS705 will be the first STAINLESS STEEL fire protection shut-off valve priced to compete directly with old antiquated CAST IRON butterfly valves. The SS705 should be available for direct purchase by fire sprinkler contractors by end of the year.
