The Watts 9BD Backflow Preventer is a critical safety component for commercial beverage dispensing systems. This dual-check valve is designed to prevent the reverse flow of carbonated water into the potable water supply, which can cause "copper poisoning" by leaching metal from plumbing lines. It features 3/8" MPT (Male Pipe Thread) connections and a durable brass body. Engineered to meet the strict plumbing codes required for soda fountain and carbonator installations.
Technician's Safety Note: Install this valve between the water supply and the carbonator pump. Most local health codes require a backflow preventer for all soda systems. Ensure the flow arrow on the valve body points toward the beverage equipment. Test the valve annually for proper function to ensure your facility remains compliant and the water supply remains safe.
