Common Questions

What hazard level is this RPDA approved for?

It is rated for high health hazard (toxic) cross-connections, so it may be used on either high or low hazard service. The assembly is listed to ASSE 1047.

Does this assembly have to be tested every year?

Yes. This is a field-testable assembly. Most water authorities require it to be tested and certified by a licensed backflow tester at installation and annually thereafter. It carries USC FCCCHR approval, which many jurisdictions accept as their sole approval list.

What shutoff valves are included?

It is supplied with non-rising stem (NRS) resilient-seated gate valves on the inlet and outlet.

Is this suitable for a fire sprinkler line?

Yes. Detector assemblies are built for fire sprinkler service: the metered bypass registers the low flows that reveal a leak or an unauthorized tap on the fire line. This model is UL Classified and C-UL Classified and FM Approved. The bypass meter reads in GPM.

Does the relief valve need a drain?

Yes. An RPZ relief valve is designed to discharge, and it can dump a large volume of water, so it must never be installed in a pit or below grade and the discharge must be piped to an adequate drain through an air gap. The air gap fitting is not included with this model and is ordered separately.
