Description
The Rapidrop Fig. 306 is an industrial-grade 3-inch (DN80) grooved fire protection swing check valve engineered to automatically prevent reverse fluid flow within water supply and fire sprinkler systems. Built with a high-strength ductile iron body and factory-profiled mechanical grooved ends, it integrates quickly into piping networks using standard couplings to eliminate flanging or welding labor. The valve features a heavy-duty spring-loaded clapper configuration faced with a resilient EPDM elastomer, ensuring a bubble-tight seal against a corrosion-resistant seat even under low backpressure conditions. Its streamlined full-bore interior minimizes fluid turbulence and limits pressure loss during high-flow demand. Ready for demanding configurations, it is rated for an enhanced maximum working pressure of 25.2 bar (365 psi) and is finished inside and out with a fusion-bonded epoxy layer to counter scaling and environmental corrosion.
Features
- Automatic Backflow Prevention: Engineered with a responsive, gravity-assisted spring clapper that instantly closes shut upon flow reversal to protect upstream fire infrastructure.
- High Pressure Rating Threshold: Advanced robust design accommodates severe-service fire environments with a maximum working pressure handling capacity of up to 365 psi (25.2 bar).
- Rapid Grooved Joint Integration: Built with factory-profiled grooved ends, allowing fast alignment with standard mechanical couplings to bypass welding, threading, or heavy flange-bolting labor.
- Versatile Orientation Deployment: Hydrodynamically optimized internal layout permits reliable structural installation in both horizontal and vertical (upward flow direction only) pipelines.
- Bubble-Tight Resilient Sealing: Features a precision-molded EPDM elastomer layer over the clapper that seals firmly against the body ring to stop low-pressure fluid tracking.
- Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Barrier: Coated thoroughly inside and out with an industrial-grade protective epoxy finish that blocks environmental rusting and prevents hard water mineral scale buildup.
