1/2" Bronze Backflow Preventer Check Valve with Vent, Lead-Free

Apollo® 1/2" Lead-Free Bronze Double Check Valve – Compact Backflow Protection for Potable Water Lines

The Apollo® 1/2" Double Check Valve provides dependable protection against backflow caused by backpressure or backsiphonage in non-health hazard potable water systems. Designed to meet industry standards for residential and light commercial applications, this valve is a compact, lead-free solution engineered for performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant bronze and equipped with independently acting internal checks, the valve ensures dual-layer protection for systems requiring code-compliant cross-connection control. It's well-suited for installations downstream of meters, on residential service lines, and in general plumbing systems where backflow protection is required but not classified as high hazard.
