Installation Instructions

Series 009 and LF009

Indoors – Figure 1

For indoor installations, it is important that the assembly be eas-

ily accessible to facilitate testing and servicing. If it is located in a

line close to a wall, be sure the test cocks are easily accessible.

A drain line and air gap (see literature ES-AG/EL/TC) should

be piped from the relief valve connection as shown, where

evidence of discharge will be clearly visible and so that water

damage will not occur. Therefore, never install in concealed

locations.

Outside – Figure 2

In an area where freezing conditions do not occur, Series 009 and

LF009 can be installed outside. The most satisfactory installation

is above ground and should be installed in this manner whenever

possible.

In an area where freezing conditions can occur, Series 009

and LF009 should be installed above ground in an insulated

enclosure.

Series 009 and LF009 must be installed in an accessible loca-

tion to facilitate testing and servicing. A discharge line should be

piped from the air gap at the relief valve connection making sure

that there is adequate drainage. Never pipe the discharge line

directly into a drainage ditch, sewer or sump. Series 009 and

LF009 should never be installed where any part of the unit could

become submerged in standing water.

It is generally recommended that backflow preventers never be

placed in pits unless absolutely necessary and then only when

approved by local codes. In such cases, a modified pit installa-

tion is preferred.

Parallel – Figure 3

Two or more smaller size assemblies can be piped in parallel (when

approved) to serve a large supply pipe main. This type of installa-

tion is employed where increased capacity is needed beyond that

provided by a single valve and permits testing or servicing of an

individual valve without shutting down the complete line.

The number of assemblies used in parallel should be deter-

mined by the engineer’s judgement based on the operating

conditions of a specific installation.

For parallel valve installations, the total capacity of the assem-

blies should equal or exceed that required by the system.

Annual inspection of all water system safety and control

valves is required and necessary. Regular inspection,

testing and cleaning assures maximum life and proper

product function.

NOTE: Shutoff Valves: When shutoff valves are removed and reassembly is

necessary, the shutoff valve with the test cock is to be mounted on the inlet

side of the backflow preventer.

A. The 009 and LF009 should always be installed in an accessible location to

facilitate testing and servicing (See page 2). Check the state and local codes

to ensure that the backflow preventer is installed in compliance, such as

the proper height above the ground.

B. We recommend a strainer be installed ahead of 009 and LF009 series assem-

blies to protect the internal components from unnecessary fouling.

CAUTION:

Do not install with strainer when backflow preventer is used on seldom-used

water lines which are called upon only during emergencies, such as fire sprin-

kler lines.

Start Up: The downstream shutoff should be closed. Open upstream slowly and

fill valve. When valve is filled, open the downstream shutoff slowly and fill the water

supply system. This is necessary to avoid water hammer or shock damage.

C. Water discharge from the relief valve should be vented in accordance with code

requirements. The relief valve should never be solidly piped into a drainage ditch,

sewer or sump. The discharge should be terminated approximately 12" above

the ground or through an air gap piped to a floor drain.

NOTE: Relief Valve Discharge Rates

The installation of an air gap with the drain line terminating above a floor drain

will handle any normal discharge or nuisance spitting through the relief valve.

However, floor drain size may need to be designed to prevent water damage

caused by a catastrophic failure condition. Please refer to Figure No. 1 for

maximum relief valve discharge rates, size and capacity of typical floor drains.

NOTE: Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting. Pipe full

line size.

D. After initial installation, a discharge from the relief valve opening may occur due

to inadequate initial flushing of pipe lines to eliminate dirt and pipe compounds.

If flushing will not clear, remove the first check valve and clean thoroughly.

NOTE: Periodic relief valve discharge may occur on dead end service applica-

tions, such as boiler feed lines or cooling tower makeup lines due to fluctuating

supply pressure during a static or no flow condition. To avoid this discharge,

install a spring-loaded rubber seated check valve ahead of the backflow assem-

bly to “lock-in”the downstream pressure.

E. Backflow preventers should never be placed in pits unless absolutely neces-

sary and then only when and as approved by local codes. In such cases,

provision should be made to always vent above flood level or for a pit drain to

ensure an adequate air gap below the relief port.

F. It is important that Series 009 and LF009 backflow preventers be inspected

periodically for any discharge from the relief valve which will provide a visual

indication of need for cleaning or repair of check valves. Also testing for proper

operation of the device should be made periodically in compliance with local

codes, but at least once a year or more often, depending upon system condi-

tions.

Relief vent will discharge water when, during no-flow periods, (1) the first check

valve is fouled or (2) the inlet pressure to the device drops sufficiently due to

upstream pressure fluctuations to affect the required operating differential

between the inlet pressure and reduced pressure zone. Otherwise, such relief

(spitting) can occur when the second check is fouled during emergency back-

flow or resulting from a water hammer condition. For troubleshooting guide

send for S-TSG.

NOTE: Special considerations are necessary when testing assemblies

installed on Fire Prevention Systems.

Fire Protection System Installations: The National Fire protection Agency

(NFPA) Guidelines require a confirming flow test be conducted whenever a

“main line”valve such as the shutoff valves or a backflow assembly have been

operated. Certified testers of backflow assemblies must conduct this confirm-

ing test.

Servicing First & Second Check Valves

Series 009 and LF009

11⁄4" – 2" (32 – 50mm)

1. Remove the four or six relief valve cover bolts while holding

the cover down.

2. Lift the cover straight off. The stem and diaphragm assembly

will normally remain with the cover as it is removed. The relief

valve spring will be free inside the body at this point.

3. The relief valve seat is located at the bottom of the body

bore, and can be removed, if necessary, for cleaning. The

disc can be cleaned without disassembly of the relief valve

module. If it is determined that the relief valve diaphragm

and/or disc should be replaced, the relief valve module can

be readily disassembled without the use of special tools.

NOTE: The disc rubber is molded into the disc holder and is

supplied as a disc holder assembly.

4. To reassemble the relief valve, press the seat firmly into place

in the body, center the spring on the seat, and insert the

cover and relief valve module as a unit straight into the bore.

Press down on the cover to assure proper alignment. Insert

and tighten bolts.

CAUTION:

If cover will not press flat against body, stem assembly is

crooked and damage can result. Realign stem and cover

before bolts are inserted.

NOTE: No special tools required to service Series 009

21⁄2" – 3" (65 – 80mm)

*The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable

water contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.

1. Remove the relief valve assembly as outlined on page 5.

2. Remove the retainer from the body bore. The check valve

modules can now be removed from the valve by hand or

with a screwdriver.

NOTE: The seats and springs of the first and second check

modules are not interchangeable. The heavier spring and

smaller diameter seat belong with the first check module.

3. The check seats are attached to the cage with a bayonet

type locking arrangement. Holding the cage in one hand,

push the seat inward and rotate counterclockwise against

the cage. The seat, spring cage, spring and disc assembly

are now individual components.

4. The disc assembly may now be cleaned and reassem-

bled or, depending on its condition, may be discarded and

replaced with a new assembly from the repair kit. O-rings

should be cleaned or replaced as necessary and lightly

greased with the FDA approved silicon grease. For more

information refer to repair parts price list PL-RP-BPD.

5. Reassemble the check valve modules. Check modules are

installed in the valve body with the seat facing the valve inlet.

The modules must be securely in place before the retainer

can be replaced. Replace relief valve assembly.

NOTE: No special tools required to service Series 009 21⁄2" – 3"

(65 – 80mm)
