2 1/2" DERINGER 30 (DCDA)
The 2½" Deringer 30 Double Check Detector Assembly prevents non-health hazard pollutants from entering a potable water supply system when backpressure and/or backsiphonage conditions occur. Used primarily on fire sprinkler systems when monitoring of unauthorized water use is required.
The smallest, lightest, most economical, best performing, and only all stainless steel backflow preventer. Period.
Approved in the Horizontal & Vertical Up Position.
Important Note: Install with FLEX Couplings or Flange Adapters Only. DO NOT use RIDGED Couplings!

Micro type-II Bypass TMAssembly
The type-II bypass assembly is a new technology to the backflow industry and is used on Backflow Direct's Deringer 30 (DCDA-II).
As more manufacturers begin to utilize this technology it is only a matter of time before it’s widely used and is more commonly seen than the old type-I bypass assembly.
We created this video to provide a clear explanation on how the type-II bypass provides theEXACT same level of protection as a type-I bypass as well as some of the similarities and differences between the two.
Flow Performance
Measures & Materials
Engineering & Specifications
TheDeringer 30 Double Check Detector Assembly (DCDA-II) shall utilize two independent Dual Action Check modules and two integral resiliently seated shut-off valves all of which shall be contained within a single rigid valve housing constructed entirely of 304 stainless steel. Both integral shutoff valves shall include pre-wired supervisory tamper switches contained within a weatherproof actuator housing approved for both indoor and outdoor use. Dual Action Check modules shall operate as a “poppet style” check under low flow conditions, operate as a “swing style” check under high flow conditions and utilize replaceable silicone elastomer sealing discs. Assembly test cocks shall be handle-less and operate via a tamper resistant actuator. Assembly shall have a single full access service port and cover with an “inline” replaceable elastomer seal. All bypass assembly components shall be lead free and include a meter registering either gallons or cubic feet, a single check valve and required test cocks. Assembly shall be serviceable without special tools and approved for both horizontal and vertical applications.

TECHNOLOGY
TopDual-Action™ Check Modules
The Patented Dual-Action Check™ (US8875733) is the core technology behind the superior performance of Deringer Backflow Prevention Product Line. The Dual-Action Check™ combines all of the best features of industry standard “poppet” checks and “swing” checks into a single high performance check module.
- Light weight engineered polymer components.
- Modular for easy removal of complete check from body.
- Easily disconnect spring tension for safe check servicing.
- Replaceable Silicone Rubber Elastomer Disk.
- Excellent resistance to fouling
Poppet Action
Features:
- Initial 25% of check stroke is that of a poppet check.
- Consistent static sealing
- Excellent resistant to fouling
- Reliable check closure
- Stable flow characteristics at lower flow rates
Swing Action
Features:
- Final 75% of check stroke is that of a swing check.
- Minimal friction loss at high flow rates.
- More linear flow path water through valve.
Bow-Seal™ Full Access Cover
The Patented Bow-Seal™ Full Access Cover (US8844562) is pre-formed to cylindrical shape friendly to high fluid pressure. This allows the cover to be much thinner and lighter than traditional flat covers while still providing FULL and EASY access to Dual Action™ Check Modules.
Additional features include:
- Light weight
- Simple removal
- No sliding seals
- Full access to valve internals
- No cumbersome and heavy couplings
Tamper Resistant Test Cock
The Deringer tamper resistant ½” and ¾” ball valves are the first handle-less test cocks found on large diameter backflow devices in the industry. The top of the valve actuation stem has a unique shape that uses an independent custom wrench to open and close test cocks. All test cocks are lead free and meet the SDWA requirements.
Micro-Bypass™ Assembly
The Deringer 30/50 Micro Bypass™ Assembly is a type II bypass that utilizes an angled check valve and includes a standard 5/8 X 3/4 water meter for water use detection. It is the shortest, lightest and smallest bypass in the industry and the same bypass is used on all size Deringer 30/50 models. Constructed of lead free bronze, the micro bypass assembly meets all SDWA lead free standards.
Bypass-Angled Check Valve
The bypass angled check valve has many features shown in the graphic below that are fundamental to creating the shortest, lightest and smallest bypass in the industry.
