Installation guide

none 14-ZWFR is a freeze relief valve designed to protect your backflow preventer from freezing and potentially bursting. It is installed on the downstream test cock or downstream attached piping of any Backflow Preventer installed above ground where freezing is a concern. The none 14-ZWFR is best suited to be installed in the vertical down position, but may also be installed at any orientation up to horizontal.

When the temperature drops below freezing, the none 14-ZWFR will automatically open and allow water to escape from the backflow preventer, preventing it from freezing and bursting. The water will discharge from the outlet port, so it is important to make sure that the discharge will not damage surrounding property or equipment.
