INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
MODEL 350 65-250mm
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Installaon of Backflow Preventers must be performed
by qualified, licensed personnel. The installer should be sure
the proper device has been selected for the parcular installa-
on. Faulty installaon could result in an improperly funcon-
ing device.
- ZURN WILKINS Model 350 Double Check Valve assemblies are
for use on potable water lines where a health hazard does
exist in the event of a backflow situaon.
- Damage to the device could result wherever water hammer
and/or water thermal expansion could create excessive line
pressure. Where this could occur, shock arrestors, check valves
and/or pressure relief valves should be installed downstream
of the device.
- If installaon is in a pit or vault, the Backflow Preventer must
never be submerged in water because this could cause a
cross-connecon. Make sure that the pit or vault always
remains dry by providing ample drainage.
1. Before installing a Model 350 Backflow Preventer, flush the
line thoroughly to remove all debris, chips and other foreign
maer. If required, a strainer should be placed upstream of the
Backflow Preventer. CAUTION: Do not use a strainer in seldom
used emergency waterlines such as fire lines.
2. Provide adequate space around the installed unit so that the
test cocks will be accessible for tesng and servicing.
3. Install valve at least 300mm above surrounding flood level.
4. Always consult local codes for installaon methods, approvals
and guidance.
5. Resilient seated shutoff valves are required to be installed on
both the inlet and outlet of the device to make field tesng
possible.
WARRANTY: ZURN WILKINS Valves are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship when used for the services recommended. Please
refer to the LWG Zurn/ Zurn Wilkins Product Warranty Statement for details.
