Stop sacrificing reliability for convenience. This atmospheric backflow preventer provides consistent protection against back siphonage and backflow while maintaining compact dimensions for tight plumbing installations. Designed for continuous pressure operation, it fits standard 3/8" IPS female connections and installs quickly to secure water systems.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug related fixtures and shut water supply. Remove the T&S Brass B-0970-FE and inspect seals for wear. Flush lines to remove debris. Clean exterior with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads. Use a soft brush to clear internal passages, then reassemble with new seals if needed. Test under pressure for leaks and proper atmospheric venting. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, fire risks from grease, higher bills, equipment failures, and inspection failures.#@@#Additional Info#@#T&S Brass B-0970-FE Atmospheric Back Flow Preventer 3/8" features a double-check design with 3/8" IPS female inlet/outlet, polished chrome, and 2-3/8" height; installs on commercial faucets to prevent back siphonage and flow.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing reliability for convenience. This atmospheric backflow preventer provides consistent protection against back siphonage and backflow while maintaining compact dimensions for tight plumbing installations. Designed for continuous pressure operation, it fits standard 3/8" IPS female connections and installs quickly to secure water systems.
#@@# Compact Size#@#
Measuring 2-3/8" from top to bottom, it enables installation where space restricts larger assemblies. The small footprint reduces clearance requirements and simplifies routing in confined sink and faucet applications.
#@@# 3/8 Inch Connections#@#
Accepting 3/8" IPS female inlet and outlet fittings, it integrates directly with common supply lines. Technicians achieve a leak-resistant connection without adapters, reducing parts count and installation time.
#@@# Double Check Design#@#
Utilizing a double check mechanism, it actively prevents back siphonage and backflow under variable pressure conditions. Operators maintain potable water integrity by relying on redundant sealing elements that respond to pressure reversals.
#@@# Polished Finish#@#
Featuring polished chrome-plated surfaces that resist corrosion, it enables routine visual inspection. Maintenance teams can clean the exterior quickly, preserving appearance and facilitating identification of service needs.
#@@# Continuous Pressure Rated#@#
Engineered for continuous pressure use, the unit functions reliably in systems with sustained supply pressure. Facilities maintain uninterrupted protection across extended operating periods without component fatigue.
#@@# Service-Friendly Weight#@#
Weighing approximately 0.46 pounds, it offers a lightweight assembly that reduces strain during handling and alignment. Installers can maneuver the unit easily during retrofit or new-construction tasks, shortening labor time.
