Features
  • Built-in Seal-A-Matic™ (SAM) check valve. Eliminates the need for under-the-head check valves. No parts to be installed at the site.
  • Traps water in lateral pipes in elevation changes of up to 14 feet (4,2 m).
  • Reduces wear on system components by minimizing water hammer during start-up.
