Ames Colt C200 OS&Y Fire Double Check Valve Assembly: Advanced Backflow Prevention

The Ames Colt C200 Fire Double Check Valve Assembly with OS&Y shutoff is a high-performance backflow prevention solution designed for fire protection systems and commercial plumbing. Engineered to safeguard potable water supplies from non-health hazard contaminants, this assembly ensures consistent performance and regulatory compliance in both commercial and industrial environments. It's an essential component for fire sprinkler systems and municipal water networks, preventing reverse flow during pressure fluctuations or system repairs.

• Durable Construction: Features a robust body fabricated from high-grade materials, including fusion-bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron or corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel. This construction ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, suitable for subterranean and mechanical room installations.
• Precision Engineering: Equipped with 300-series stainless steel springs and fasteners, offering extended durability and exceptional corrosion resistance for continuous operation.
• Advanced Check Modules: Incorporates dual check modules, often made with glass-filled thermoplastic for dimensional stability and superior wear resistance. Some configurations feature patented Tri-Link check valves, known for providing low-pressure loss across the assembly.
• Reliable Sealing: Utilizes high-quality, field-replaceable EPDM elastomeric discs that provide a tight, drip-tight seal to prevent backflow leakage and simplify long-term maintenance.
• Industry Certifications: UL 1469 listed, FM approved, ASSE 1015 compliant, and meets AWWA C510 standards, ensuring adherence to critical safety and performance requirements, including NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 fire protection codes.
• Operational Ratings: Rated for a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI (12.1 bar) and effective for water temperatures between 33°F and 140°F (0.5°C to 60°C).
• Installation Flexibility: Supports both horizontal and vertical upward flow orientations, with connections available in grooved or flanged configurations for quick, secure integration into new or retrofit systems.
• Integrated Testing: Features accessible test ports to facilitate straightforward inspection and proactive system management, essential for annual testing requirements.
• OS&Y Gate Valves: Includes Outside Stem and Yoke (OS&Y) resilient seated gate valves, providing a visible indication of the valve's open or closed status, which is crucial for fire system integrity and easier operation.

This assembly provides a critical safeguard for water supplies, preventing reverse flow during pressure fluctuations or system repairs. Its rugged build and corrosion-resistant internal components reduce maintenance frequency and downtime, making it a dependable choice for maintaining system readiness in high-demand fire suppression networks. The compact and modular design ensures reliable protection against non-health hazard contaminants, upholding public health and system integrity with confidence. The accessible test cocks and easy-to-service check modules contribute to simplified maintenance and compliance with regular testing protocols.
