Check Valves should always be installed in accordance with the original manufacturer’s instructions. When purchased 

as a complete Check Valve & Flow Meter combination, a copy of these instructions will be included with the FlowVis® 

packaging. If a FlowVis® retrofi t kit has been purchased, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the Check 

Valve has been installed correctly and does not violate any local or federal codes relating to Check Valves.

The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Act requires that all public swimming pools 

& spas having a single main drain or multiple drains that are 3 feet or less (center 

to center) from each other, be fi tted with a backup anti-

entrapment system. Such systems include, but are not limited 

to, SVRS and Automatic Pump Shut Off  systems. Special 

consideration must be made when installing a FlowVis® to such 

applications. Several of these systems do not allow the use 

of Check Valves. It is the responsibility of the installer to make 

sure that the requirements of the specifi c backup system in 

use are maintained.

For these applications, see model FV-C-S in Table 1 on Page 3.

On the side of the valve body that is used for the 1.5”, 2”/2.5”, DN40 and DN50/65 models, you will note the 

following feature:

VALVE BODY FEATURE

This has no functionality relating to the operation of the FlowVis® and is 

simply provided as a feature to be able to plumb in a drain down pipe and 

valve. A typical use for this might be a roof mounted solar system. Under 

no circumstances should this hole be drilled out when using the valve body 

with the FlowVis®.
