A DCVA is a mechanical backflow preventer that consists of two independently acting, spring-loaded check valves. It includes shutoff valves at each end of the assembly and is equipped with test cocks. A DCVA is effective against backpressure backflow and back-siphonage but should be used to isolate only non-health hazards.
