10" Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly Z Pat with OSY Valve

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)
The 10" Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly Z Pat with OS&Y valve integrates robust materials designed for residential fire protection systems. The main body is constructed from UL-listed cast ductile iron, engineered for resilience under continuous pressure and environmental stresses common to residential installations. Internal components feature corrosion-resistant 300-series stainless steel springs, fasteners, and valve stems, ensuring long-term operational integrity. The reduced pressure zone element includes EPDM elastomer seals and stainless steel relief valves that deliver accurate pressure detection and float precision. The OS&Y (Outside Screw & Yoke) gate valve allows for reliable isolation and clear visual indication of valve position.

Regulatory Compliance
This assembly complies with key industry standards to ensure safety and performance:

• UL Listed to UL 312 standard for reduced pressure principle backflow preventers
• FM Approved for residential fire protection service applications
• Complies with ASSE 1013 for backflow prevention assemblies
• NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 compliant, supporting installation and maintenance protocols for sprinkler systems

Operational Compatibility
Designed specifically for residential fire protection systems, the 10RED Detector Assembly supports system pressures up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar), suitable for typical municipal water supply lines. The unit features grooved connections per AWWA C606 to facilitate rapid installation and maintenance while reducing potential leak points. The assembly's configuration accommodates both horizontal and vertical installation orientations with upward flow to suit diverse residential plumbing layouts. The integrated test cocks allow for periodic inspection and differential pressure testing as required by local codes.

The 10" Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly Z Pat with OS&Y offers precise and reliable pressure monitoring to detect potential backflow conditions before contamination risks arise. Its durable materials provide resistance against environmental factors common in residential settings, including temperature fluctuations and intermittent water surges. The OS&Y gate valve design provides straightforward operation and serviceability for fire protection technicians, aiding in faster isolation and maintenance without system downtime.

Ideal for fire protection contractors and residential property managers who require a dependable, code-compliant backflow detection solution, this assembly enhances safety by preventing contaminated water from entering the potable supply during backflow incidents.
