Description

The Febco 601 Air Gap Drain (SKU 905213) is a coated aluminum fitting designed for MasterSeries® reduced pressure assemblies from 2.5 to 10 inches. It prevents water splashing by directing minor relief valve discharges due to pressure fluctuations or check valve fouling into a drain. Featuring a 4-inch funnel outlet for easy connection to drain piping, this lightweight and corrosion-resistant air gap drain helps maintain a clean area around backflow prevention devices. It is easy to install and suitable for non-health hazard applications.

Additional Details

The Febco Series 601 Air Gap Drain is designed for installation on the relief valve of MasterSeries® reduced pressure assemblies ranging from 2½ inches to 10 inches. It effectively catches and removes minor relief valve discharges caused by pressure fluctuations or minor check valve fouling, preventing water splashing and directing flow to a drain.

Features

  • Directs flow into the funnel with a nozzle design, reducing side spray.
  • Funnels minor relief valve discharges into drains.
  • Lightweight construction for easy installation.
  • Coated for corrosion resistance.
  • The 4-inch funnel outlet accommodates a hubless pipe coupling for simple drain pipe installation.

Materials

  • Nozzle: ASTM B26 Alloy 356 Aluminum
  • Funnel: ASTM B26 Alloy 356 Aluminum
  • Rod: ASTM B241 Alloy 6063 Coated Aluminum with Vitralon polyurethane coating black #88-1204 or equivalent.

NOTICE: This air gap drain is not designed to catch the maximum discharge possible from the relief valve. Always ensure the floor drain size is adequate to prevent water damage from catastrophic failure conditions. Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Febco 601 Air Gap Drain?

The primary purpose is to catch and direct minor relief valve discharges from MasterSeries® reduced pressure assemblies, preventing water splashing and funneling the discharge safely into a drain.

What sizes of backflow assemblies is this air gap drain compatible with?

This air gap drain is designed for use with MasterSeries® reduced pressure assemblies in sizes ranging from 2½ inches to 10 inches.

What material is the Febco 601 Air Gap Drain made from?

The Febco 601 Air Gap Drain is constructed from coated aluminum for corrosion resistance. Specifically, the nozzle and funnel are ASTM B26 Alloy 356, and the rod is ASTM B241 Alloy 6063.

How does the air gap drain connect to the drainage system?

The air gap drain features a 4-inch funnel outlet that is designed to accept a hubless pipe coupling, allowing for straightforward connection to 4-inch drainage piping.

Can this air gap drain handle major discharges from a catastrophic backflow assembly failure?

No, the Febco 601 Air Gap Drain is designed to manage normal, minor discharges and nuisance spitting. It is not intended to handle the maximum discharge possible from a catastrophic relief valve failure. The drain line and floor drain size should be adequately designed for such events.
