MasterSeries LF866

Reduced Pressure Zone

Detector Backflow Prevention
Assemblies (Type-II)
Size: 212" - 10" (65mm - 250mm)
The FEBCO MasterSeries LF866 Reduced Pressure Zone Detector
Assembly is specifically designed to protect against possible backpressure and backsiphonage conditions for high hazard [i.e., toxic] application
in accordance with Local Governing Water Utility Codes. This Backflow
Assembly is primarily used on potable drinking water systems where Local
Governing Codes mandate protection from non-potable quality water being
pumped or siphoned back into the potable water system.
The LF866 features Lead Free construction to comply with low lead installation requirements. The Lead Free Reduced Pressure Zone Detector
Assemblies shall comply with state codes and standards, where applicable, requiring reduced lead content.

Specifications
The FEBCO MasterSeries LF866 Reduced Pressure Zone Detector
Assembly shall be installed on the potable water supply and at each point
of cross-connection to protect against possible backpressure high hazard
and backsiphonage conditions for (i.e., toxic) applications. The assembly
shall consist of a main line valve body composed of two (2) independently
acting approved clapper style check modules with replaceable seats and
disc rubbers. Servicing of both check modules does not require any special tools and are accessed through independent top entry covers. This
assembly shall be fitted with approved UL/FM inlet/outlet resilient seated
shutoff valves and contain four (4) properly located resilient seated test
cocks as specified by AWWA Standard C511. The auxiliary bypass line
contains a 58"x 34" (16 x 19mm) Water Meter that complies with ANSI/
AWWA Standard C700 coupled with an approved check assembly compliant to AWWA Standard C511. The bypass line is designed to detect leaks
or unauthorized water usage of the water system while protecting against
possible backpressure and backsiphonage conditions in high hazard (i.e.,
toxic) applications. Flow and pressure loss performance parameters shall
meet the requirements of AWWA Standard C511.

The gap drain is not designed to catch the maximum discharge possible from the relief valve. The installation of the FEBCO air gap with the drain line terminating above a floor drain will
handle any normal discharge or nuisance spitting through the relief valve. However, floor drain size may need to be designed to prevent water damange caused by a catastrophic failure
condition. Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting.

Performance
Flow capacity chart identifies valve performance based upon rated water
Velocity up to 20fps
M
 aximum service flow rate is determined by maximum rated Velocity of
7.5fps.
A
 WWA Manual M-22 (Appendix C) recommends that the maximum
water Velocity in the services be not more than 10fps.
UL flow rate is determined by typically rated Velocity of 15 feet/sec.
