Pipe lines should be thoroughly flushed to
remove foreign material before installing the
unit. A strainer should be installed ahead of
backflow preventer to prevent disc from
unnecessary fouling. Install valve in the line
with arrow on valve body pointing in the
direction of flow.
For indoor installations, it is important that the
valve be easily accessible to facilitate testing and
servicing. Do not install in a concealed location.
CAUTION: Do not install with strainer when
backflow preventer is used on seldom-used
water lines which are called upon during
emergencies, such as fire sprinkler lines, etc.
It is important that Series 4000CIV be tested
periodically in compliance with local codes,
but at least once a year or more often
depending upon system conditions.
IMPORTANT: Inquire with governing
authorities for local installation requirements.
NOTE: For Australia and New Zealand, line
strainers should be installed between the
upstream shutoff valve and the inlet of the
backflow preventer.
Its important that this assembly be tested
periodically in compliance with local codes,
but at least once per year or more as service
conditions warrant. If installed on a fire
sprinkler system, all mechanical checks, such
as alarm checks and backflow preventers,
should be flow tested and inspected internally
in accordance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 25.
