FEATURES AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
The FEBCO Double Check Assembly Backflow Preventer consists of two independently operating, spring loaded check valves. The pressure drop across the first check valve is approximately 1.0 PSIG with no flow.
The pressure drop across the second check valve is also 1.0 PSIG with no flow. A complete assembly includes two shut-off valves and four test cocks.
VANDALISM
If the unit is installed where vandalism may be a problem, the assembly should be protected and secured.
On 1 /
2
" through 2" units the handles of shut-off valves can be removed to discourage tampering.
A protective enclosure can be installed over the unit to discourage vandals. If an enclosure is used, it should be installed so that adequate clearance is available for maintenance and testing. Consult local codes before installing any type of protective enclosure.

" - 2")
GENERAL SERVICE PROCEDURES
1. FEBCO backflow prevention assemblies can be serviced with standard tools and are designed for ease of maintenance. The assemblies are designed to be serviced in line, so the unit should not need to be removed from the line during servicing. NO special tools are required.
Suggested Tool Kit Model 850 ( 1 /
2
" - 2")
• 1 crescent wrench
• 1 medium standard screw driver
• Differential pressure test kit
•
• 1 medium Phillips screw driver
Box/open end wrench
2. The most common cause of check fouling is dirt and debris in the seating areas. The line should be flushed clean of debris before installation of the assembly. To flush the line after installation of the assembly, slowly close the inlet shut-off valve, remove the cover and spring assemblies of both check valves and open the inlet shut-off valve to allow sufficient flow of water through the assembly to clear all sand, debris, etc. from the line. If debris in the water continues to cause fouling, a strainer may be installed upstream of the assembly (check local codes).
3. Rinse all parts with clean water before reassembly.
4. Carefully inspect seals, and seating surfaces for damage or debris. If the check valve seat disc has been severely cut at the seat ring diameter, the assembly has been subjected to extremely high and repeated back pressure. Either thermal water expansion or water hammer are the most likely causes. If back pressure persists, consider installation of a pressure relief valve downstream of the assembly.
5. Use caution to avoid damaging any guiding surfaces while handling parts. Do not force parts together. The o-ring seals used in FEBCO assemblies require only a small tightening force to insure a positive seal.
6. Test unit after servicing in accordance with locally approved test methods to insure proper operation (see page 9 for more details).
7. Refer to applicable exploded drawings and parts lists (pages 6-8) for visual aid information.
8. Use food grade petroleum jelly as a lubricant as instructed in this manual.

CHECK MODULE DISASSEMBLY
1. Slowly close inlet and outlet ball valves. Bleed residual pressure by opening # 2, # 3, and # 4 test cocks. Allow the test cocks to remain open until the reassembling is completed. Test cock # 1 should remain closed.
2. Remove the cover bolts (item 21) using the appropriate size wrench.
3. Remove spacer (item 8) by grasping the flanged end of the spacer and pulling straight up.
5. Remove the outlet check assembly by placing the tip of a medium size flat nose screw driver in the slot of the seat (item 3) and prying the check assembly back until the red o-ring (item 3.1) is exposed. Then, using your fingers, pull it out from the body bore until it is completely exposed then lift out of the body.
4. Remove the inlet check assembly by pulling it in the direction of flow out from the body bore until it is completely exposed then lift out of the body.

SEAL REPLACEMENT CHECK MODULE RE-ASSEMBLY
Both check assemblies are disassembled and reassembled in the same manner. To service the checks you may replace the check modules with new ones by using check module assembly kits available from FEBCO. Or, you may also replace the rubber components in the check modules by using the replacement rubber parts kits available from FEBCO.
For details on parts and kits please see pages 6 - 8.
1. To disassemble, grasp the seat section (item 3) in one hand and the guide section (item 7) in the other hand and then rotate in a counter clock wise direction (approx. 1 /
8
turn) until the two parts disengage.
Use reverse procedure for assembly with the following special instructions.
1. Inspect the check module o-ring (item 3.1) for damage and replace if necessary. To ease assembly, apply a thin coating of FEBCO factory supplied petroleum jelly (food grade) to the o-ring
(item 3.1) prior to installing in body. CAUTION:
Excess lubricant may cause foreign debris to collect on internal components which could foul the check assembly and result in a test failure.
2. The word INLET is inscribed on the end of each module. That end should face the inlet of the valve.
2. Remove retaining screw (item 5.2) and disc retainer (item 5.1) so the rubber disc is fully exposed. Carefully pry out the rubber disc from poppet. Be careful not to damage the poppet when removing the disc. Rinse poppet in clean water and replace the old rubber disc with new rubber disc. If the rubber disc is not damaged it can be reversed and reinstalled when a new disc is not available. Rinse all other internal components with clean water. Replace disc retainer and secure with retaining screw (item 5.2).
3. When replacing spacer (item 8) between the two check assemblies be sure that the flanged end of the spacer is touching the back side of the inlet check assembly so that the cover will fit properly.
Next, replace cover making sure # 3 test cock is on the upstream side. Do not over tighten cover bolts
(Approximately 35 inch-pounds is sufficient).
4. After reassembling, close test cock # 2, # 3 and # 4
(test cock # 1 should already be closed), slowly open inlet ball valve. Bleed air from the unit by opening and closing test cock # 2, then # 3 and finally # 4.
5. Check for external leaks and repair if necessary.
Slowly open outlet ball valve.
6. Test assembly in accordance with the locally approved test methods.
3. Reassemble check module in the reverse manner as indicated in above. When reassembling the check module be sure to insert the poppet stem into the guide hole and keep fingers clear of the slots in the module.

TESTING
All mechanical devices should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are working correctly. The assembly should be tested at time of initial installation, after servicing or maintenance, and at least annually thereafter. Acceptable test procedures are published by Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic
Research at the University of Southern California (USC), The American Water Works Association (AWWA),
The American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE Series 5000) and the Canadian Standards Association
(CAN/CSA B64•10). Please consult the regulatory authority in your area for more specific information.
FREEZE PROTECTION
The backflow prevention assembly may be subject to damage if the internal water is allowed to freeze. The unit must be protected from freezing using a heated enclosure, insulation heat tape, or other suitable means. The unit must always be accessible for testing and maintenance. If the system will be shut down during freezing weather, use the following procedures to drain internal passages.
Ball Valve Shut-Off Draining Procedure
If the assembly has been installed with ball valve shut-off valves, they must also be properly drained to prevent freeze damage. After draining procedure has been completed on the backflow prevention assembly, position all ball valve shut-offs and test cocks in a half open/half closed
(45 degree) position.
Open the ball valve approximately 45 degrees while draining the pipeline and assembly to allow water between the ball valve and valve body to drain. Leave the ball valve in this position for the winter to prevent freeze damage.
The ball valve must be fully closed before the system is repressurized. OPEN AND CLOSE BALL VALVES
SLOWLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM CAUSED BY WATER HAMMER.
Main Valve Draining Procedure (
1
/
2
" - 2")
1. Close the main shut-off valve.
2. Open the inlet drain.
3. Open the inlet and outlet ball valves 45 degree (half open, half closed).
4. Open all testcocks.
5. Open the outlet drain.
6. Remove the cover and inlet check module until all water inside valve drains back out through inlet drain.
7. If you blowout the piping downstream of the backflow assembly using compressed air: Connect the air supply to the outlet drain and close the outlet ball valve. After clearing the system with air, partially open the outlet ball valve. Leave all drain valves, testcocks, and ball valves in half open/half closed position for the winter.
