5.  The Model VA-2000 meets or exceeds the twelve hour -40 F & +140 F temperature 

performance testing set by the ASME/ANSI A112.19.17-2010 Standard for 
Manufacturing Safety Vacuum Release Systems.  We strongly suggest that the VA-
2000 not be left in below freezing temperatures where the circulation system is not 
continually running or not protected by a pump house.  In such cases, condensation 
could freeze piping and ice may impair or disable the safety features of the VA-2000.  
For installations that require winterization, the Model VA-2000 should be removed 
and stored, and then re-installed upon system start-up.”
