Additional Details

The FEBCO Series LF860 Small Reduced Pressure Zone backflow preventer assembly is designed to prevent the reverse flow of high hazard (toxic) fluids from entering potable water supplies due to backsiphonage or backpressure.

This assembly is used in critical applications such as industrial plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, chemical plants, irrigation systems, boiler feed, and general water lines where maximum protection is required.

Features

  • Provides potable water protection against cross-connection contamination.
  • Inline serviceable assembly requires no special tools for maintenance.
  • Includes a flood detection sensor on the relief valve to detect excessive water discharges.
  • Flood alerts can be activated with an add-on sensor connection kit, compatible with BMS and cellular communication.
  • Constructed with a lead-free* cast copper silicon alloy body.
  • Features threaded quarter-turn ball valves with union connections.
  • Includes top-mounted test cocks, spring-loaded check valves, and a pressure differential relief valve.

An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor's communication features; without it, the sensor is passive. It is critical to comply with all installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, codes, and regulations for this product.
