Deringer 40G (RP)
Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer w/ OS&Y Gate Valves
The Deringer 40G Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer w/ OS&Y Gate Valves prevents non-health hazard pollutants from entering a potable water supply system when backpressure and/or backsiphonage conditions occur.
The smallest, lightest, most economical, best performing, and only all stainless steel backflow preventer. Period.
Deringer 40G(X) Reduced Pressure Valves prevent non-health hazard pollutants and hazardous contaminants from entering a potable water supply system when backpressure and/or backsiphonage conditions occur. Used primarily on fire sprinkler systems when monitoring of unauthorized water use is required.

Engineering Specifications
The Deringer 40G Reduce Pressure (RP) Valve shall utilize two independent Dual Action Check modules contained within a single valve housing constructed of entirely of stainless steel. Dual Action Check modules shall operate as a poppet style check under low flow conditions, operate as a swing style check under high flow conditions and utilize replaceable silicone elastomer sealing discs. Valve assembly shall include two resiliently seated and inline serviceable AWWA C509 gate valves of type outside yoke and stem (OS&Y). Gate valves shall utilize a stainless steel stem with a pre-machined groove for installation of supervisory tamper switches. Assembly test cocks shall be handle-less and operate via a tamper resistant actuator. Assembly shall utilize a single full access service port and a cover with an inline replaceable elastomer seal. Relief valve shall operate without the use of sliding seals and shall be constructed entirely of stainless steel. Assembly shall be serviceable without the use of special tools.

True-Seal Check Modules
The True Seal Check Valve was designed to incorporate a poppet only motion during the check stroke and is used exclusively on the first check assembly on the Deringer RP and RPDA models and Magnum RP model. This design allows a more consistent pressure loss across the check valve which helps maintain a steady and continual closure of the Relief Valve.
- Light weight engineered polymer components
- Modular for easy removal of complete check from body
- Easily disconnect spring tension for safe check servicing
- Replaceable Silicone Rubber Elastomer Disk
- Excellent resistance to fouling.
Poppet Action
Features:
- 100% of check stroke is that of a poppet check
- Consistent static sealing
- Excellent resistant to fouling
- Reliable check closure
- Stable flow characteristics at ALL flow rates
Dual-Action™ Check Modules
The Patented Dual-Action Check™ (US8875733) is the core technology behind the superior performance of Deringer Backflow Prevention Product Line. The Dual-Action Check™ combines all of the best features of industry standard “poppet” checks and “swing” checks into a single high performance check module.
- Light weight engineered polymer components.
- Modular for easy removal of complete check from body.
- Easily disconnect spring tension for safe check servicing.
- Replaceable Silicone Rubber Elastomer Disk.
- Excellent resistance to fouling
Poppet Action
Features:
- Initial 25% of check stroke is that of a poppet check
- Consistent static sealing
- Excellent resistant to fouling
- Reliable check closure
- Stable flow characteristics at lower flow rates
Swing Action
Features:
- Final 75% of check stroke is that of a swing check
- Minimal friction loss at high flow rates
- More linear flow path water through valve.
Bow-Seal™ Full Access Cover
The Patented Bow-Seal™ Full Access Cover (US8844562) is pre-formed to cylindrical shape friendly to high fluid pressure. This allows the cover to be much thinner and lighter than traditional flat covers while still providing FULL and EASY access to Dual Action™ Check Modules.
Additional features include:
- Light weight Simple removal
- No sliding seals
- Full access to valve internals
- No cumbersome and heavy couplings
Tamper Resistant Test Cock
The Deringer tamper resistant 1/2" and 3/4" ball valves are the first handle-less test cocks found on large diameter backflow devices in the industry. The top of the valve actuation stem has a unique shape that uses an independent custom wrench to open and close test cocks. All test cocks are lead free and meet the SDWA requirements.
Relief Valve
The Deringer 40/50 Relief Valve uses a stainless steel body, piston seal and stainless steel sensing line and has been designed to be the smallest and lightest Relief Valve in the industry. Unlike previous relief valve designs, the piston seal does not use the body of the relief valve to align itself properly when closing and opening and instead uses the guide pin on the piston. This will aid in making the Relief Valve resistant to build up and binding. All components of the relief valve are lead free and meet the SDWA requirements.
