Apollo® 1/2" Lead-Free Bronze Double Check Valve – Reliable Protection in Compact Applications

The Apollo® 1/2" Lead-Free Double Check Valve is engineered for cross-connection control in potable water systems exposed to moderate backflow risk. Designed for systems not classified as high hazard, this assembly prevents reverse flow due to backsiphonage or backpressure and is commonly used in residential and light commercial settings.

This valve features a corrosion-resistant bronze body with two independently operating spring-loaded checks, ensuring reliable performance and system integrity. Compact in size and built for horizontal installation, it's ideal for use downstream of water meters or in confined mechanical spaces.
