General

Designed to protect drinking water supply networks against
the backflow of risk fluids up to category 4 according to NF
EN1717.
The device is designed to prevent any backflow of polluted
water into the drinking water supply network as a result
of back pressure or back siphonage when the pressure
upstream of the device is lower than the pressure downstream
of it.

Fields of application

For systems liable to generate pollution risks:
• Sanitary networks: hospitals, laboratories,
dialysis centres, water treatment.
• Technical networks: heating, air conditioning, irrigation,
water dispensers.
• Fire suppression systems: sprinklers, fire hoses.
• Professional networks: industrial facilities,
surface treatment, chemical industry, agrifood.
• Temporary networks: water supply for trade fair stands,
festivals, exhibitions.
Note: The applications also depend on legislation in the
country of use. Please contact your national authorities
for further information.

1. Operating principle

The backflow preventer with verifiable reduced pressure zone
includes:
• three zones: upstream, intermediate and downstream, each
equipped with a pressure measuring device.
• two independent check valves, separating the intermediate
zone.
• one automatic relief device connected to the intermediate
zone to restore it to atmospheric pressure in the event of a
failure.
This device is installed with a funnel with air gap.
Maintenance and accessibility of the internal components are
facilitated by the modular design of the replacement parts.
