Wilkins Expands Backflow Portfolio with New Valve

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions introduced the Wilkins 975XL3N n-Pattern reduced pressure backflow preventer. Engineered for versatility across a wide range of outdoor plumbing installations, its lead-free construction makes it ideal for plumbing or irrigation applications.

Designed with a purpose-built n-pattern configuration, the 975XL3N features an optimized lay length that matches competing n-pattern valves, enabling a clean drop-in replacement between vertical risers with no re-piping, extra fittings or enclosure modifications required.

The valve is designed to streamline installation, simplify service and deliver reliable long-term performance. Key features include EZSwap modular checks with top access to simplify servicing. Centerline test ports offer improved accessibility during testing. The durable, lead-free bronze body is designed for seasonal outdoor exposure.
