Series: 825Y
Description: "Y" Pattern Design Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies
Available Sizes: 3/4 to 2 in. (20 to 50mm)

Series 825Y "Y" Pattern Design Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies are used to protect against high hazard (toxic) fluids in water services to industrial plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, and chemical plants. They are also used in irrigation systems, boiler feed, water lines and other installations requiring maximum protection. They feature a bronze body and threaded ball valve shutoffs. Maximum Working Pressure: 175psi (12.1 bar).

Installation Instructions

1. Consult local codes for specific installation requirements and restrictions

applicable to your area. It is recommended that system supply pressure

be at least 20psi (138 kPa).

2. These instructions apply to the FEBCO Series 825Y, sizes

3⁄4"- 2"

(20 – 50mm) only. The assembly should be installed in the horizontal

position with the relief valve on the side.

3.

THE VALVE ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WHERE RELIEF

VALVE DISCHARGE WILL BE ACCEPTABLE, OR WHERE RELIEF

VALVE DISCHARGE CAN BE COMPLETELY DRAINED.

The valve

assembly must be installed where it is accessible for periodic testing

and maintenance. Clearances shown in the installation views apply to

exterior, interior and pit/vault installations and are only recommendations.

These minimums do not apply to removable protective enclosures.

Refer to local codes for actual requirements in your area.

4.

PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE VALVE INTO THE LINE, FLUSH THE

SUPPLY LINE OF ALL FOREIGN MATERIAL.

Failure to flush the supply

line may cause the check valves to become fouled and require disassembly

and cleaning.

5. After installation

SLOWLY fill the assembly with water and bleed air

from the body using the # 3 and # 4 test cocks. Test the valve assembly

to ensure correct operation.

NOTE:

All assemblies are tested at the factory for proper operation and

leakage. If the valve does not pass the field test, it is most likely due to

a fouled check valve. This is not covered by the factory warranty. The

valve cover(s) must be removed and the check seats inspected and

cleaned. Any damage or improper operation caused by pipeline debris or

improper installation/start-up is not included in the factory warranty.

In case of a possible warranty claim, contact your local supplier or

FEBCO Representative.

DO NOT REMOVE THE VALVE ASSEMBLY

FROM THE PIPELINE.

6. The assembly must be protected from freezing and excessive pressure

increases. Pressure increases can be caused by thermal expansion or

water hammer. These excessive pressure situations must be eliminated

to protect the valve and system from possible damage.

7. Plastic testcock plugs and tethers are provided (loose in box) for areas

that require them.
