The RP-500 Backflow Preventer is designed to supply maximum protection against backflow caused by negative pressure or backpressure. Backflow may cause infiltration of chemicals, fertilizers and/or other pollutants into potable water systems.
The RP-500 is reliable and easily maintained and these backflow preventers feature a unique modular design, which allows for simple parts replacement and maintenance, usually costing far less than repairing its traditional backflow preventer counterparts, without the need for special tools.
The RP-500 is built with two independent, easily replaceable capsulated spring-loaded check valves. A revolutionary, internal Reduced Pressure Zone, located between the check valves, ensures protection and reliable performance of the relief valve
