These devices are intended for use under continuous or intermittent pressure conditions. These devices shall consist of two independently acting check valves biased to a normally closed position. An atmospheric port shall be located between the check valves and shall be biased to a normally open position. The port shall vent liquids, gases, or both, under backflow conditions.
