Dual Check Backflow Preventer
VersaCheck® Dual Check Backflow Preventers are simple to install and provide reliable, affordable, certified protection from backsiphonage and backpressure.
The challenge:
Backflow prevention for water supply lines is critical and increasingly required by local plumbing codes. Reliable, certified protection against backsiphonage, backpressure and cross-connections is important for protecting the public water supply. However, achieving compliance with reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valves can be costly, inconvenient and messy.
Now there’s a superior solution.
VersaCheck backflow preventers can eliminate the need for expensive RPZ valves, vacuum breakers, and air gaps for the vast majority of installation requirements. Available in a complete range of sizes from 1/4" to 1-1/2", VersaCheck backflow preventers are infinitely adaptable to all types of connection fittings, pipe and tubing materials.
Better materials, better performance.
Unlike heavy, brass backflow preventers that contain trace amounts of lead and other toxic chemicals, VersaCheck backflow preventers are lightweight and durable, free from lead and hazardous chemicals, NSF-compliant and completely non-reactive to chlorine and hard water.

A history of innovation
Originally developed for use in conjunction with dental and medical water treatment devices, VersaCheck backflow preventers are made from medical-grade components suitable for food contact. The original VersaCheck 1/4” and 3/8” backflow preventers are designed for lower-flow applications and feature convenient, quick-connect fittings.
The VersaCheck product lineup also accommodates higher flow rates and a wide range of connection types thanks to 1/2” to 1-1/2” FNPT machined and injection-molded threads for maximum flexibility of adapter fittings.
Select VersaCheck models are both ASSE 1024 and ASSE 1032-certified to provide backflow protection for carbonated and non-carbonated beverage equipment.
