Installation and operating instructions

KEMPER Backflow Preventer BA Figure 361

1. Prerequisites for installation

Install the backflow preventer in

frost-free areas only! DIN EN 1717, DIN 1988

Comply with standards: DIN EN 12056, DIN 1986-100

Provide a drain line! Comply with the direction of flow!

Application area

According to DIN EN 1717, in order to maintain flawless functioning of the BA backflow preventer, a flanged dirt trap

must be installed in the direction of flow before the BA backflow preventer. Type BA backflow preventers that accord

with DIN EN 12729 are used to secure drinking water plants against back pressures and siphon back flow. Fluids up to

and including Fluid Category 4 as per DIN EN 1717/1988-100 are secured. They can be used for residential buildings,

industrial and commercial purposes with consideration of their specifications. Normally (normal functioning with pressure

fluctuations), the vent hole of the middle pressure chamber only allows a few drops through. During malfunctions,

the vent hole can allow the full volume flow of the service pipe through. For that reason, dimension the wastewater

connection to be sufficiently large according to DIN EN 12056 and DIN 1986-100. Assume the volume flow that could arise

through the service pipe on the backflow preventer BA (pay attention to the nominal flow rate!). The backflow preventer

BA can secure the following hazard potential in accordance with the Fluid Category:

Category 4 (applies to backflow preventer BA)

Fluids that present a health hazard to humans due to the presence of one or more toxic or highly toxic substances or

one or more radioactive, mutagenic or carcinogenic substances.

The higher the classification, the greater the risk potential. For each category, DIN EN 1717 stipulates specific protection

valves. The Backflow Preventer BA, Figure 361 is approved without restriction for use up to and including Category 4. A

continual bacterial risk (Fluid Category 5) in extant piping systems must not exist.

2. Operating principle

The KEMPER BA Backflow Preventer is subdivided into 3 zones. In Zone 1, the pressure is higher than in Zone 2 and there

again higher than in Zone 3. A drain valve is connected to Zone 2, which opens latest when the pressure difference between

Zones 1 and 2 has decreased to less than 0.14 bar. The water from Zone 2 flows outdoors. That precludes the risk of back-

pressure or siphon back flow in the supply network. The pipeline is interrupted and the drinking water network is protected.

Intermittent dripping from the BA Backflow Preventer at the drain valve is not necessarily a malfunction.

Under such circumstances, the BA Backflow Preventer separates as intended!

Note:

Do not connect any fast-closing valves or stopping equipment before or after the valve.

Fast closing, e.g. of solenoid valves or ball valves on devices and machines can lead to serious malfunctions in the

backflow preventer BA. For that reason, always use slowly closing valves or drives that close slowly.

If the inlet-side static system pressure is high, it is recommended to install a pressure reducing valve in the

supply line.

3. Installation

The BA Backflow Preventer must be installed level. Provide cut-off valves in front of and behind the backflow preventer.

In addition, a dirt trap must be connected upstream which prevents the backflow preventer from damage and functional

impairments due to coarse dirt.

Install the backflow preventer free of tension and without flexural moment as follows:

1. Thoroughly rinse connecting pipe

2. Check connections on backflow preventer for cleanliness (Figure 2)

3. Install backflow preventer as in Figure 3. While doing so, comply with the following points and those in Chapter 3.1:

Flow in direction of arrow

Maintain installation clearances

Make sure there is good accessibility

Make drain lines without any tight bends and keep them short. Connection dimension acc Table 2

Install the drain line so that the drain connection and the drain valve can be removed for inspection.

A material-steadying zone of 5 x DN after the BA is recommended

3.1 Notes for secure installation

If there are supply pressure fluctuations, without water removal a short triggering of the drain valve can occur. For that

reason, we recommend installing a pressure reducing valve before the backflow preventer.

The room in which the backflow preventer is installed must be freely accessible at all times and always be frost free. Ensure

good ventilation.

If the drain line is also being used by other equipment/plants, it must be correspondingly dimensioned (pump

stations/sewage system)

No additional, unprotected drinking water connections are permitted after the backflow preventer.

Within the downstream system, the individual connections are not secured from each other against backflow. If required,

provide individual protection.

The backflow preventer must be easily accessible at all times. Manometer connections and controls must not be obstructed.

While installing backflow preventers, make sure the water that leaks during the separation process is safely drained off.

Installation in shafts and rooms endangered by flooding is prohibited. For inspection and maintenance reasons, provide

cut-off valves in the direction of flow before and after the backflow preventer.

The backflow preventer must be installed flood proof.

Provide the drain valve control with an effective safeguard, i.e., in case of failure, the vent hole opens completely. In this

case, for 1 bar pressure in the middle chamber, calculate with the following dimensions. Dimension the dewatering line

correspondingly.

4. Commissioning

Commission the backflow preventer in this sequence:

1. Slowly open cut-off valves 1 and 2.

During this process, it is possible the drain valve opens intermittently.

2. Vent the system through ball valves 3, 4, and 5.

Open each ball valve until water comes out. It is important to open every ball valve to make sure that all chambers are

vented.

3. The backflow preventer is ready for operation.

5. Inspection

In compliance with standards on drinking water protection and hygiene regulations, the user/operating organisation is

given the following specifications:

As per DIN EN 1717, Point 4.6, perform regularly scheduled maintenance on the safeguards. As per DIN EN 806-5

1 x annual maintenance is applicable Europe-wide. Check their proper functioning in regularly scheduled intervals in

compliance with the national or

regional stipulations.

For DE, in accordance with DVGW W 570-1 (April 2007) under 4.7 it is stipulated that the maintenance must be

performed 1 x annually.

For CH, perform the maintenance/inspection as per SVGW W3 Supplement 1 (2000), W/TPW 126 (April 1994) and

W/TPW 135 (April 1994). In W/TPW 135, in Point 3 Maintenance, the maintenance/inspection is stipulated

as periodical, but at least every 2 years. W/TPW 126 requires the backflow preventer BA to be checked for the first time

after the first year of operation. In addition, Offprint no. 1377 of SVGW 8/96 is pointed out.

For NL, in VEWIN Waterwerkblad WB 1.4 G (November 2005 under Point 4 it is stipulated that backflow preventers BA

need to be checked for proper operation and maintained 1x annually.

The following applies:

The functional and maintenance measures cover the function test, visual inspection of the interior parts and

the cleaning or replacement of the functioning parts as stated under Points 3 and 4 in the operating instructions.

This inspection should also include the related valves. Only authorised specialists are allowed to perform

maintenance. Document the inspection on the attached control plate with date and signature. In addition, Appendix

1 on inspection and maintenance is recommended. Put the Backflow preventer BA cartridge through a visual inspection

in the installed state during every maintenance to the extent this is possible through the housing opening.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the cartridge every 10 years. Comply with local regulations.

Measuring instrument for differential pressure measurement: Suitable

differential pressure manometer; The KEMPER differential pressure

measurement case, Figure 360 99, is recommended.

- Close the stop valve before and after the valve.

- Using the bleeder valve on the test hose (Test valve B),

slowly bleed the pressure of the middle pressure zone and

watch the differential pressure display at the same time.

The differential pressure rises until the anti-pollution

check-valve starts to open. The drain valve must not

trigger during this.

- Close the bleeder valve on the test hose (Test hose B).

The differential pressure must remain constant.

Note: During the measurement, it is mandatory that

there is no flow in the backflow preventer BA!

5.5 Function test, drain valve
