  Check Valves/Back Flow Preventers

A check valve, clack valve, non-return valve or one-way valve is a mechanical device, a valve, which normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of applications. Check valves are often part of common household items. Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, check valves generally are very small, simple, and/or inexpensive. Check valves work automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external control; accordingly, most do not have any valve handle or stem. The bodies (external shells) of most check valves are made of plastic or metal.

Double Check Valve Assemblies are installed at cross-connections to prevent the backflow of rain water into the potable water supply. The assembly consists of two positive seating check modules with captured springs and rubber seat discs. The check module seats and seat discs are replaceable. Service of all internal components can be accomplished through a single access cover secured with stainless steel bolts. The Double Check Valve Assembly is constructed using Lead Free materials. Always check with local authority having jurisdiction regarding vertical orientation, frequency of testing or other installation requirements.

  RPZ Backflow
RPZ Backflow

RPZ (Reverse Pressure Zone) water backflow valves/preventers are used to protect water supplies from being contaminated by water flowing back into the fresh water supply. For example, an irrigation system has the potential to allow contaminated water from the lawn to flow back into the pipes that deliver drinking water. RMS uses RPZ backflow valves/preventers to connect domestic back up water and rainwater. When installing a rainwater harvesting system it is necessary for you to check with your locality to determine what type of backflow valves/preventers are required.

  RMS AIR GAP 
Air Gap

When using domestic water as a back up to rainwater, localities require a mechanism to ensure the rainwater does not flow into domestic water system. Normally this can be accomplished by using a double backflow preventer however; some localities require an actual air separation between the two water sources. The RMS Stainless Steel Air Gap is installed on the domestic back up to create this separation. The RMS Air Gap comes in different sizes to meet your domestic line size. The RMS Air Gap is made 100% from stainless steel. For more information on cross connections and back up water systems contact our staff at (540) 375-6750 or email at info@rainwatermanagement.com

  RMS Normally Closed Solenoid Valve
RMS Normally Closed Solenoid Valve

The RMS Normally Closed Solenoid Valve is an electromechanical device which allows for an electrical device to control the flow of liquid. The electrical device is activated by a Normally Closed float Switch in the rainwater harvesting tank and causes a current to flow through a coil located on the solenoid valve. This current flow in turn results in a magnetic field which causes the displacement of a metal actuator. The actuator is mechanically linked to a mechanical valve inside the solenoid valve. The RMS Normally closed Solenoid Valve then changes state, or closes to allow a liquid flow through the solenoid valve. A spring is used to return the actuator and valve back to their resting state when the current flow is removed. The RMS Normally Closed Solenoid Valve comes in various sizes to meet your rainwater harvesting needs. For more information please contact RMS at (540) 375-6750 or email at info@rainwatermanagement.com
