Specifications
A Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly shall be installed at each cross-connection to prevent backsiphonage and backpressure backflow of hazardous materials into the potable water supply. The assembly shall consist of a pressure differential relief valve located in a zone between two positive seating check valves and captured springs. Backsiphonage protection shall include provision to admit air directly into the reduced pressure zone via a separate channel from the water discharge channel. The assembly shall include two tightly closing shutoff valves before and after the valve and test cocks. The assembly shall meet the requirements of ASSE Std. 1013; AWWA Std. C511-92; CSA B64.5; and UL Classified File No. EX3185. Listed by IAPMO (UPC). Approved by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California. The assembly shall be a Watts Regulator Company Series 909.

Materials
Check Valve Bodies: FDA epoxy coated cast iron or bronze Seats: bronze Trim: stainless steel Relief Valve Body: 212"-3" (60-80mm) bronze 4"-10" (100-250mm) FDA epoxy coated cast iron Test Cocks: bronze body ball valve
How It Operates
The unique relief valve construction incorporates two channels: one for air, one for water. When the relief valve opens, as in the accompanying air-in/water-out diagram, the right-hand channel admits air to the top of the reduced pressure zone, relieving the zone vacuum. The channel on the left then drains the zone to atmosphere. Therefore, if both check valves foul, and simultaneous negative supply and positive backpressure develops, the relief valve uses the air-in/ water-out principle to stop potential backflow.
