TC: TEST COCK
CV: CHECK VALVE
The Double Check Valve (DC) device consists of two independently-acting, spring-loaded check valves. Two resilient seated
shut-off valves and four test cocks complete the assembly. Each check is designed to maintain a minimum of 1 psi across the
check during normal operation. If at any time the pressure downstream of the device increases above the supply pressure, both
check valves will close to prevent any backflow from occurring. The no flow condition is illustrated in Figure 1. To initiate flow, supply
pressure must be sufficient to open both checks and overcome friction, normally a minimum of 3 to 5 psi above the downstream pressure.
I. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
II. INSTALLATION
1. The DC must be installed in an accessible location to facilitate periodic field testing and maintenance.
2. Flush all upstream POST INDICATORPOST INDICATORng thoroughly to remove foreign matter prior to installing the device.
3. The device may be installed in the n-flow position as shown in Figure 1. Adequate clearance between the lower most portion of the device and
flood grade or floor should be provided for ease of maintenance.
4. If shut-off valves are provided separately, they should be installed with test cocks on the upstream and downstream sides of
5. The wedge of the inlet shut-off valve (as shown in Figure 1). Contact local jurisdictional authorities for local requirements.
6. After installing the assembly and with downstream or #2 shut-off valve closed, pressurize the device and bleed air through test cock #4. Then
open #2 shut-off valve.
Note: Pressures are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of any actual valve.

NOTE: This is a three-valve test kit procedure. Your local water purveyor should be consulted for acceptable test procedures. This
procedure is to be used on a stand-alone double check valve (DC), the mainline DC of a double check detector, and/or the bypass DC
of a standard (Type 1) double check detector. See Figure 9 for a schematic of the test setup.
TEST SETUP:
Flush test cocks (TC) (#1, #2, #3 & #4). Close shut-off valve #2. All TCs should be closed.
CHECK VALVE #1:
1. Close all valves on test kit.
2. Connect the high side hose to TC #2 and the low side hose to TC #3. Open TC #2 and TC #3.
3. Open vent valve “C” and high “A” on the test kit to bleed air from the high side of the kit. Close high “A” valve and then open low “B” valve to bleed
the low side. Close low “B” valve.
4. Record the gauge reading. It must be a minimum of 1.0 psid to pass. Close TC #2 and TC #3.
CHECK VALVE #2:
1. Move the high side hose to TC #3 and the low side hose to TC #4. Open TC #3 and TC #4.
2. Open vent “C” valve. Then open high “A” and bleed air from the high side of the kit. Close high “A” valve, and then open low “B” valve and bleed
the low side of the kit. Close low “B” valve.
3. Record the gauge reading. It must be a minimum of 1.0 psid to pass. Close TC #3 and TC#4. Remove hoses and drain test kit.
4. Slowly open shut-off valve #2 to restore water flow.
LEAKING #2 SHUT-OFF VALVE:
The following test will expose a leaking #2 shut-off valve.
1. Both shut-off valves should be open. Make sure all valves on test kit are closed. Connect the high “A” hose to TC #2 and the low “B” hose to TC
#3. Open TC #2 and TC #3.
2. Open the high “A” valve and vent “C” valve to bleed air from high side of gauge. Open low “B” valve to bleed air from low side of gauge. Close valves
“A”, “B” and “C” on test kit.
3. Connect the vent hose to TC #4. Open TC #4.
4. Close shut-off valve #2. The differential gauge needle should read at least 1.0 psid.
5. Open the high “A” valve and vent “C” valve. This will put back pressure on check valve #2.
6. Close TC #2.
If gauge is steady, then shut-off valve #2 is holding tight. However, if gauge drops to zero psid, then shut-off valve #2 is leaking. If the gauge
rises then the #2 shut-off valve is still leaking, but is under back-pressure from a downstream source.
TESTING PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE CHECK ON DCDA TYPE 2 BYPASS:
Note: The first check of the mainline valve is also the first check of the bypass assembly and the test results for the first mainline check
should be recorded as the first check of the bypass assembly. If the local water authority requires a second test for the first check, perform
the test again and record the results. The second check is the single check on the bypass line. (See page 10 for test cock locations)
7. Flush water through the bypass line test cocks to eliminate foreign material.
8. To test the bypass single check, connect the “high” side hose to the first test cock on the bypass line (upstream of single check valve). Hold the
“low” side hose level with the gauge.
9. Close the inlet shut-off valve on the mainline and bypass line. The single check valve must hold at least 1.0 psid.
WRAP UP:
CLOSE ALL TEST COCKS. OPEN #2 SHUT-OFF VALVE. DRAIN GAUGE.

The Double Check Detector Assembly (DCDA Type 1) contains a mainline DC incorporating two spring loaded check valves and a bypass line
consisting of an approved DC assembly and a water meter. The DCDA Type 2 contains a mainline DC incorporating two spring loaded check
valves and a bypass line consisting of a single check valve and a water meter. Each device is equipped with test cocks for periodic field
testing and is normally supplied with inlet and outlet shut-off valves. NOTE: UL and FM installations must include indicating type shut-off
valves.
During no flow conditions, the mainline and by-pass check valves will remain closed. If there is a low flow demand (up to a minimum of 2
gpm) of water downstream, the flow is routed through the water meter to monitor such consumption. If the downstream pressure increases
above the supply pressure or there is a reduction in the inlet pressure, the mainline and bypass check valves will close to prevent backflow.
VI. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
VII. INSTALLATION
1. The DCDA must be installed in an accessible location to facilitate periodic field testing and maintenance.
2. Flush all upstream POST INDICATORPOST INDICATORng thoroughly to remove foreign matter prior to installing the device.
3. The device may be installed in the n-flow position. A clearance of 12” to 30” between the lower most portion of the device and flood grade or floor
should be provided for ease of maintenance.
4. After installing the assembly and with downstream (#2) shut-off valve closed, pressurize the device and bleed air through test cock #4. Then
open #2 shut-off valve.
OTHER INSTALLATION TIPS
• Installing this device in a POST INDICATORt requires consideration for future maintenance and repair. Along with necessary clearances, there
must be adequate drainage within the POST INDICATORt to deter potential accumulation of standing water. Also, check with local codes and/or
inspectors prior to making such installations.
• Do not install in areas subject to freezing without using a properly designed enclosure.
• As in any POST INDICATORPOST INDICATORng system, provisions should be made to minimize water hammer and pressure rise due to thermal
expansion, as these conditions can create damaging and dangerously high internal pressures.
