FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this backflow preventer?

This FEBCO Series 860 Reduced Pressure Zone assembly is designed to protect potable water supplies from contamination by preventing the reverse flow of high-hazard (toxic) fluids due to backsiphonage or backpressure in non-potable systems.

What are the main material components of this assembly?

The main valve body and caps are constructed from durable bronze. It uses silicone elastomers for seals and stainless steel springs for reliable operation.

What type of end connections does this backflow preventer use?

This assembly features NPT ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 threaded end connections, making it compatible with standard threaded piping systems for straightforward installation.

Is this product suitable for use in drinking water systems?

No, it is illegal to use this product in any plumbing system providing water for human consumption, such as drinking or dishwashing, in the United States. It is specifically designed for non-potable health-hazard applications.

What is the function of the included flood detection sensor?

The flood detection sensor on the relief valve monitors for excessive water discharges. When an add-on connection kit is used, it can activate flood alerts and communicate with building management systems.
