The Wilkins 975XLU Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly (SKU: 1-975XLUS) is a 1" bronze backflow preventer engineered for high-hazard protection in non-potable and irrigation systems. This wye-pattern assembly is supplied with union ball valve shutoffs and a bronze Y-type strainer to simplify isolation, maintenance, and debris protection.

  • Model: 975XLU (Wilkins) — compact wye-pattern bronze body for durability.
  • Size & Pressure: 1" inlet/outlet; rated for 175 psi working pressure.
  • Included valves: Union ball valve shutoffs for easy isolation and servicing.
  • Strainer: Bronze Y-type strainer included to reduce particulates and protect internal checks.
  • Material: Bronze construction for corrosion resistance in irrigation and commercial plumbing applications.
  • Application: Designed to provide reduced pressure protection where high-hazard backflow prevention is required.

This assembly is ideal for irrigation, landscape, and other non-potable water systems where code-compliant reduced pressure protection is required. The union ball valves and Y-strainer make routine testing and maintenance faster, and the bronze body helps ensure long-term reliability in outdoor and mechanical-room installations. For installation, follow local plumbing codes and the manufacturer's specification sheet for testing intervals, orientation, and service procedures.
