Description

This is a double check assembly. Production was originally under the Toro name and began approximately in 1976. Orion bought this design and produced it from 1980-2000. Febco bought the rights to produce this design in 2000 and discontinued production in 2001. The BDC uses a vertical piping configuration where water goes in the bottom and comes back down out of the bottom. The 3/4" and 1" size are constructed inside and out of celcon plastic except for the base and top cover which are made of bronze. These sizes also have ball valves built into the base of the unit. The body of the 3" and 4" sizes are constructed of a bronze base with stainless steel check canisters with a bronze top cover. Internal parts are constructed of plastic and bronze. All check seats on all sizes are replaceable. All check springs are contained when the cover is removed.
