Dual Check Valve Backflow Preventer for Handheld Showers
PRODUCT DETAILS
Many plumbing codes require backflow protection on a handheld shower, because a shower head on a hose can end up sitting in standing water. The HammerHead® Dual Check Valve is a handheld shower backflow preventer with two independent check valves in one solid stainless steel body, so water flows out to the sprayer and never back toward your supply line.
It threads in between your wall holder or drop ell and the shower hose in a few minutes. The washer comes pre-installed and thread seal tape is in the box, so there is nothing else to buy. Standard 1/2 inch threads fit any handheld shower and hose sold in the US and Canada, and it's backed by our lifetime warranty.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Dual check valve protection stops dirty water from flowing back into your clean water line.
- Solid stainless steel body won't crack like plastic and the finish won't flake.
- Universal 1/2" fit works with any handheld shower and hose sold in the US or Canada.
- Installs in minutes between the holder or drop ell and the hose, washer pre-installed.
- No flow restrictor inside, so your handheld keeps its full spray.
- Six finishes to match the rest of your shower trim.
