BACKFLUSHING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all local cross-connection and safety
codes and regulations!
To determine if a GA Industries sewage air valve
needs cleaning or backflushing:
•
Close the inlet isolating valve then slowly
open the ½” flushing ball valve (if installed)
or slowly remove the pipe plug at the top
of air valve to relieve internal pressure.
•
Open t
he 1” blow off ball valve (if installed)
or remove the pipe plug near the bottom.
Liquid should freely drain from the valve
body. If it does not, then the valve is likely
in need of cleaning or backflushing.
To clean a GA Industries sewage air release
valve equipped with backflushing attachments:
•
Close the inlet isolating valve and then
slowly open the ½” flushing valve to
relieve internal pressure.
•
Open the
1” blow off valve
•
Connect the ½” flushing valve to a
pressurized source of clean water using
the rubber hose provided with the
backflushing attachments.
•
Introduce flushing water until liquid runs
freely from the blow off valve.
•
Shut off and disconnect the supply of
clean water and close the blow off and
flushing valves.
•
Slowly open the inlet isolating valve. The
air release valve should exhaust air and
then close tightly
