Connections and Installation

This Zurn Wilkins 375DA backflow assembly features flanged (FLG X FLG) end connections designed for direct installation into a piping system. Since this specific model is supplied without integral OS&Y gate valves, external isolation valves must be provided and installed upstream and downstream to allow for testing and maintenance. The flanged connections conform to ASME B16.42 Class 150 standards for compatibility with similarly rated flanged piping.

Installation must comply with local codes, manufacturer's instructions, and the latest edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code. Ensure the assembly is mounted between 12" and 30" above adequate drains, with sufficient side clearance for testing and maintenance.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Zurn Wilkins 375DA backflow assembly?

The Zurn Wilkins 375DA is a Reduced Pressure Principle Detector Backflow Assembly designed to protect potable water supplies from contamination due to backsiphonage and backpressure in high-hazard fire protection applications.

What does "Less Gate Valves" mean for this specific 375DA model?

"Less Gate Valves" indicates that this particular model is supplied without the integral OS&Y gate valves that typically come with the Zurn Wilkins 375DA. Users will need to install their own isolation gate valves upstream and downstream of the assembly.

How does the metered bypass function on this device?

The metered bypass on the 375DA continuously monitors low flow rates. This allows for the detection of leaks within the fire protection system or unauthorized water use, providing valuable information for water management.

What are the main materials used in the construction of the 375DA backflow preventer?

The main body and access covers are made of epoxy-coated ductile iron for corrosion resistance. Internals, fasteners, and springs are stainless steel, with elastomers made of EPDM and Buna Nitrile.

What certifications does the Zurn Wilkins 375DA hold?

The Zurn Wilkins 375DA is certified to multiple standards, including ASSE® Listed 1047, UL® Classified, FM® Approved, AWWA Compliant C550, and CSA B64.4. It also meets NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 requirements for lead content.
