Watts LF800M4QT - Manual

Models: 800M4FR, 800M4QT, LF800M4FR, LF800M4QT
Installation
Requirements:
1. Install 12" (305mm) above highest point of downstream piping
see Fig. 1.
2. Install bonnet side up and allow for accessibility for testing/service.
3. Install where discharge or spillage is not objectionable.
4. Do not undersize supply or oversize the valve in relation to demand.
5. Do not install where backpressure can occur.
6. Protect from freezing - for Freeze Protection specify Model 800M4FR or
LF800M4FR. Freeze protection can also be provided using a WattsBox
insulated enclosure. Send for ES-WB for additional information.
7. ASSE Standard 1020 requires that the atmospheric vent valve remains
open until the valve body pressure exceeds 1 lb. Until this pressure is
reached, some amount of spillage will occur at the atmospheric vent.
In order to minimize this leakage on start-up close the down stream
shutoff valve and open inlet shutoff valve quickly.
Service:
1. Open test cocks to drain in cold climates if only operated seasonally.
2.
Replace rubber goods every 5 years.
