5. Immediately rectify any malfunctions which may
influence safety.
2. Functional description
BA type backflow preventers are divided into three
pressure zones. The pressure in zone is higher than
in zone , which in turn is higher than in zone . A
discharge valve is connected to zone which opens
at the latest when the differential pressure between
zones and falls to 0.14 bar. The water from zone
discharges to atmosphere. In this way the danger of
back pressure or back syphonage into the supply
network is prevented. The pipework connection is
interrupted and the drinking water network is
protected.

7. Assembly
7.1 Installations Guidelines
• Install shutoff valves before and after backflow
preventer
• Install in horizontal pipework with the discharge
valve downwards
• Ensure good access
o Simplifies maintenance and inspection
• Backflow preventers of this type have an integral
strainer which protects the device from the ingress
of dirt
• Do not install in places where flooding can occur
• The installation environment should be protected
against frost and ventilated well
• Install discharge pipework which has adequate
capacity
7.2 Assembly instructions
1. Thoroughly flush pipework
2. Install backflow preventer
• Install in horizontal pipework with discharge connec-
tion directed downwards
• Note flow direction (indicated by arrow)
o Install without tension or bending stresses
• Provide a straight section of pipework of at least five
times the nominal valve size after the backflow
preventer
3. Attach drain pipe to discharge connection (plastic
pipe HT 50)
