Vandalism
If the unit is installed where vandalism may be a problem, the assembly should be protected and secured. A chain can be looped through both
shutoff valve handwheels and locked in position to prevent tampering. Test cock valve handles can also be removed. On backflow prevention
assemblies installed in conjunction with fire sprinkler systems, a tamper switch can be placed on the OS&Y shutoff valves that will trigger an
alarm if an unauthorized closure should occur.
A protective enclosure can be installed over the unit to discourage vandals. If an enclosure is used, it should be installed so that adequate clear-
ance is available for maintenance and testing.
Consult local codes before installing any type of protective enclosure.

Note: If check valve seat disc has been severely cut at the seat ring diameter, the assembly is being subjected
to extremely high and repeated back pressure. Either thermal water expansion or water hammer are the
most likely causes.

Testing
All mechanical devices should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are working correctly. The assembly should be tested at time
of initial installation, after servicing or maintenance, and at least annually thereafter. Acceptable test procedures are published by Foundation
for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California (USC), The American Water Works Association
(AWWA), The American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE Series 5000) and the Canadian Standards Association (CAN/CSA B64.10).
Please consult the regulatory authority in your area for more specific information.
Freeze Protection
The Reduced Pressure Backflow Prevention Assembly may be subject to damage if the internal water is allowed to freeze. It is suggested that
all assemblies be installed with resilient seated shutoffs so that a drip tight closure can be achieved to prevent refilling of the assembly after
the freeze protection procedure is performed. The unit must be protected from freezing using a heated enclosure, insulation using heat tape,
or other suitable means. If the system will be shut down during freezing weather, use the following procedure to drain internal passages. A
system should have a shutoff valve located upstream of freeze protection area, and a means for draining upstream of the #1 shutoff and down-
stream of the #2 shutoff valve.
