What You Need to Know About DCVs
A double check valve (DCV) is a type of backflow prevention device designed to safeguard potable water supplies from contamination. Its primary function is to ensure that water flows in one direction, preventing any potential contaminants from entering your drinking water supply. DCVs play a crucial role in maintaining water quality and safety in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
The DCV consists of two independent check valves, typically spring-loaded, that operate in series to block backflow. If one valve fails, the other continues to provide protection against contamination. This design enhances the reliability and effectiveness of the device, making it a popular choice for various applications, including irrigation systems and water softener installations.
