Installation Guidance
- For factory-installed deck/machine mounted applications, the critical level of the backflow preventer must be not less than 1 inch (25mm) above the flood rim.
- For general plumbing applications, the critical level must be a minimum of 6 inches (150mm) above the flood rim.
- A strainer is recommended to be installed ahead of the backflow preventer to prevent fouling of the check assembly and spillage.
- Do not install in concealed locations or areas where water leakage due to normal wear of the internal parts could cause damage.
