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.
