• Connections & dimensions: 1-1/2" female threaded (FNPT) end connections; overall length approximately 20-5/16" for standard installations.
• Service & testing: Includes two full-port resilient-seated shut-off ball valves and four resilient-seated test cocks; top-access covers simplify testing and repairs.
• Approvals & compliance: Certified lead-free and meets common industry approvals where applicable, including ASSE 1015, cUPC and CSA listings; consult local codes for installation requirements.

What our Experts Think

• Reliable double-check protection: Prevents both back-siphonage and backpressure in non-health-hazard applications such as irrigation and service lines.
• Top-access maintenance design: Allows fast servicing of internal check components without removing the full assembly, reducing downtime and labor.
• Lead-free compliant construction: Built for modern potable water standards and approved for safe use in drinking water systems.
• Durable bronze body: Cast bronze construction with corrosion-resistant internals for long-term reliability in outdoor or below-grade installations.
• Installer-friendly sizing (1-1/2"): Ideal for irrigation mains, commercial service lines, and mid-size distribution systems.
• Standard performance ratings: Designed for typical backflow service pressures up to ~175 PSI with high hydrostatic test capacity.

Q&A

Q: What is the Zurn Wilkins 112-950XLT used for?
A: A 1-1/2" lead-free double check valve assembly (DCVA) designed to protect potable water systems from low-hazard contamination caused by backpressure or backsiphonage in non-health-hazard applications.

Q: Is it approved for drinking water systems?
A: Yes. It is lead-free compliant and typically certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and ASSE 1015 standards for potable water protection in non-health-hazard use cases.

Q: What type of backflow protection does it provide?
A: Double check valve protection (two spring-loaded check assemblies) that blocks reverse flow and helps prevent contaminated water from entering the clean supply line.

Q: What applications is it used for?
A: Low-hazard systems such as irrigation, fire sprinkler lines, and commercial water service where RPZ-level protection is not required.

Q: What are its key construction features?
A: Cast bronze body with corrosion-resistant stainless steel internals, top-access design for easier maintenance, and test cocks for field testing.

Q: What are its pressure and temperature ratings?
A: Typically rated up to 175 PSI working pressure and about 180°F maximum operating temperature.

Q: Where is it commonly installed?
A: Below-grade or valve box installations in irrigation and service-line systems where reliable, low-hazard backflow prevention is required.
