Shortest & Lightest Valve in the Industry

Kent Powell, CFO of Backflow Direct holding up our new 8" Double Check with built in stainless steel Shutoff Valves. Please don't try this with any of our competitors products!! The entire valve assembly weighs only 136lbs with an overall length of 30 3/4". By far...the shortest and lightest valve in the industry.

Life Cycle Test

This is a picture of the 4" Deringer 20/30 (horizontal orientation) installed in the USC FCCC laboratory life cycle test. As of this post date the 4" Deringer 20/30 successfully completed all of the USC FCCC laboratory evaluation and is in the documentation process for release to the USC one year field evaluation.

True Seal Check Modules

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. Sizes pictured left to right: 2 1/2" - 3" - 4" - 6" - 8"

Deringer 30/50 Bypass Check Valve

Here are some new website graphics for the Deringer 30/50 Bypass Check Valve...all of whose features are fundamental to creating the smallest and lightest bypass assembly in the industry. The Deringer 30/50 Backflow Product lines use the same bypass assembly for all valve sizes 2 1/2" - 8".

Starting USC Field Sites!

This is our Production Manager Matt Longo installing one of our USC field sites for the 4" Deringer 20/30 in the horizontal orientation. Normally one would not need a crane to install a 42lb valve however, we are replacing a competitors valve with a much longer lay length and had to add spools on both ends of our valve to make up for our short lay length.
