Compatibility and Installation

This Febco Series 601-P air gap drain (model 905-358) is specifically designed for attachment to the relief valve port of 1/2 to 1 inch Febco Series 860/LF860 and 860U/LF860U reduced pressure assemblies. It is not compatible with Series 860 assemblies equipped with flood sensors. The drain provides a connection for a minimum 2 inch drain pipe. Attachment involves joining the drain funnel halves using the provided self-tapping screws, ensuring slots align over relief valve port tabs. Installation should always comply with local codes, and the assembly should be placed near an adequately sized floor drain if indoors.

Additional Details

The Febco 905-358 Series 601-P air gap drain is designed for installation on 1/2 to 1 inch reduced pressure backflow assemblies to manage moderate relief valve discharge.

This drain helps prevent water splashing and directs discharge into a connected drain pipe, typically due to pressure fluctuations or minor check valve fouling.

Compatibility

  • For use with Febco Series 860/LF860 and 860U/LF860U reduced pressure assemblies from 1/2 to 1 inch
  • Note: This air gap drain is not designed for use on Series 860 assemblies with flood sensors.

Features

Important Considerations

This drain is intended to catch moderate relief valve discharges only. Under certain conditions, relief valves can discharge water at rates greater than the drain capacity. Consult local codes for installation requirements and proper drain pipe sizing to prevent water damage from catastrophic failure conditions. The drain funnel is a slip fit design and is not designed to support drainpipe weight.
