2-1/2" WATTS #LFF115 (GLOBE) 150# FLG PRESSURE REDUCING CONTROL VALVE (EDP#VT200903)

Essentially, a double non-return valve assembly (also known as a double check valve assembly or DCVA) consists of two independently operated non-return valves within one body. One non-return valve simply acts as a back-up. Because there is a risk that both valves will fail at the same time, regular testing is imperative, and the device is limited to use in medium and low hazard situations. This valve will protect against backpressure and backsiphonage but is not fail-safe. Because of the spring pressures, there can be a significant reduction in pressure (up to 40 kPa) across this device.

Backflow can only occur where there is a connection or cross-connection. Cross-connections can occur in any situation where fixtures are connected directly to the main supply such as:

A hose connection vacuum breaker (HCVB) is a specialised type of atmospheric vacuum breaker designed to attach directly to the hose tap. It has a spring-loaded check valve that seals against an atmospheric outlet when the water supply is turned on. When the supply is turned off, the device vents to atmosphere, thus protecting against backsiphonage conditions. It is non-testable and should not be used as protection against backpressure or be subject to continuous pressure (2 hours maximum is permitted), i.e. no control valves should be located downstream of the device.

This backflow protection device incorporates two independently-acting, spring-loaded check valves separated by a differential pressure relief valve. Pressure between the two valves is lower than the supply pressure during normal operation. If either check valve leaks, the pressure relief valve will open, discharging water out of the system.This device provides the maximum protection of any valve and can be used in high hazard situations.

Motherwell Tank Protection are manufacturers of high quality vacuum relief valves to customers worldwide. Our vacuum relief valve is specifically designed for tank protection, they are the ideal product when only vacuum relief is required. For other options see our full range of breather valves, each is designed to suit the customers specific needs.

Vacuum Reliefvalve for water heater

A vacuum breaker contains a float disc and an air inlet port. Under normal water flow, the float disc closes off the air inlet port, but if the normal water flow is interrupted, the float drops, closing off the system against backflow and, at the same time, opening the air inlet port.

If a piped supply is used to top-up the rainwater storage tank, a simple commercially available floating switch will ensure that top-up water is added only when the level in the tank is low. A float valve should not be used because it will add piped water whenever there is any draw-off.

A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) evolved due to a need to have a vacuum breaker that that can be subject to constant pressure and is able to be tested in line. It is similar to the atmospheric vacuum breaker except that there is a spring to hold the disc float in the open position during normal operation. They have two isolating valves and two cocks for testing, one for each chamber. These devices can be used under constant pressure but do not protect against backpressure. They must be at least 300 mm higher than any downstream piping.

Our vacuum only relief valves are compliant with European ATEX directives where applicable. Our breather valves are used extensively on bulk storage tanks, including floating roof tanks.

An air gap should be used to prevent backflow from rainwater tanks and other water supply tanks into the mains-supplied water system. Air gaps should also be used to prevent backflow of contaminants from all appliances and fixtures that are connected to the water supply.

Testable devices must be tested on installation and at regular intervals to the standard set down by Acceptable Solution G12/AS1: 3.7 Testing. Non-testable devices should be checked every 2 years maximum.

If there is any direct connection between mains supply water and a rainwater collection system, then a means of preventing backflow, such as a double non-return valve, must be designed into the system.

If the system is a high pressure system and a pipe is directly connected to an appliance or sanitary fixture, it may not be possible to use an air gap. In this case, a backflow prevention device must be installed.

We manufacture our vacuum relief valves in our UK manufacturing plant to exacting quality standards and backed by over 40 years experience.

As well as using the methods described below to minimise the risk of backflow, advise building owners to take simple precautions such as not submerging garden hoses or spray heads from showers and sinks, and always turning off the water supply at the tap when it is not being used.

If mains supply is used to top up a private water supply,  backflow can be prevented by using a floating weight can be used to operate a valve, ensuring that the maximum water level  always remains at least 25 mm below the mains inlet. Alternatively, a double non-return valve can be used.

For backflow to occur, there must be a physical connection, or cross-connection, between the water supply and any delivered water or contaminant. A common situation is the end of a garden hose submerged in a bucket or other container of liquid. Backflow can also arise from appliances, pools, and water storage tanks such as header tanks and rainwater tanks.

Acceptable Solution G12/AS1 requires backflow prevention to be provided where it is possible for water or contaminants to backflow into a piped potable water supply. Backflow can be prevented either through an air gap or a backflow prevention device (see below).

An atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) is one of the simplest and least expensive backflow prevention devices and can provide excellent protection against backsiphonage. It consists of a gravity plunger or float disc that is forced upwards when the supply pressure is turned on, thus sealing off the atmospheric vent overhead. As soon as the supply is interrupted or terminated, the float drops down and opens the downstream pipework to atmosphere. There must be sufficient pressure to fully lift and seal the float on the vent, so it is not suitable for use on very low pressure systems.

The Acceptable Solution also provides that there must be no likelihood of a cross-connection between a private water supply (such as a rainwater tank) and mains water supply.
