Groen 146392 Backflow Preventer

Product Description

The GROEN 146392 is a backflow preventer designed to stop reverse flow of water in commercial foodservice and institutional plumbing systems. Backflow preventers protect potable water supplies from contamination caused by back-siphonage or back-pressure events. This unit is a genuine Groen replacement part manufactured by Watts, a recognized name in flow-control and water-quality components. Licensed plumbers and commercial kitchen service technicians typically handle installation and inspection of this type of device on steam equipment, kettles, and similar water-connected appliances.

This backflow preventer is intended for use in commercial foodservice environments where Groen steam-jacketed kettles, tilting skillets, or other water-connected cooking equipment require a code-compliant backflow prevention solution at the water inlet connection. It serves as a direct replacement part for Groen appliances requiring this style of backflow protection.
