Installation Guidelines

  • This assembly is approved for horizontal N pattern installation. Ensure the backflow assembly is installed in accordance with the direction of the flow arrow for optimal performance and code compliance.
  • The integral groove fittings allow for easy pipeline adjustment, simplifying installation.
  • The integrated flood sensor detects excessive water discharges from the relief valve. An add-on connection kit is required to activate the flood sensor for communication; without it, the sensor acts passively.
