A.R.I. RP-500, A.R.I. RP-501, are Backflow Preventer Valves designed to provide maximum protection against backflow caused by back-siphonage or backpressure. Backflow may cause infiltration of chemicals, fertilizers and/or other pollutants into potable water systems. Comprised of two independent, easily replaceable, capsulated spring-loaded check valves. An internal ‘reduced pressure’ zone, located between the check valves, ensures optimal protection and reliable performance of the pressure-relief valve.
