Series LFNLF9 Dual Check Vacuum Breakers for Laboratory
Faucets are used for noncontinuous pressure, health hazard, appli-
cations and are backsiphonage backflow preventers. This series is
specially made for laboratory faucets where portable hoses can be
attached and prevent the flow of contaminated water back into the
potable water supply. These vacuum breakers can be installed on
new or existing faucets without plumbing changes. The LFNLF9 fea-
tures Lead Free* construction to comply with Lead Free* installation
requirements.
Pressure-Temperature
Temperature Range: 33°F – 180°F (0.5°C — 82°C)
Maximum Working Pressure: 150psi (10.3 bar)
Applications
LFNLF9 should be installed on every laboratory outlet where a hose
can be attached. Its unique design provides full protection against all
backsiphonage conditions.
To prevent tampering, it is recommended that the LFNLF9 be
secured to the laboratory faucet with Loctite.
Use LFNLF9 for non-continuous pressure applications.
LFNLF9
Construction
LFNLF9 is suitable for either hot or cold water service. It features
brass construction and a primary check valve utilizing a soft disc
which seats against a soft rubber mating part to ensure tight clos-
ing. A secondary check valve utilizes a soft disc-to-metal seating.
LFNLF9 provides better-than-average flow rate and consequently
lower pressure loss. Construction is brass body with polished
chrome plating, stainless steel working parts and durable rubber
diaphragm and disc.
