Basic Installation Instructions

Installation Note:

The flange gasket bolts for the

gate valves should be retight-

ened during installation as the

bolts may have loosened due to

storage and shipping.

Watts Series 995 Reduced Pressure Zone

Backflow Preventer

1. Backflow preventers must be installed in high-visibility locations

in order to allow for immediate notice of telltale discharge or

other malfunction. This location should also facilitate testing and

servicing and protect against freezing and vandalism.

Installation procedures must comply with all state and local

codes.

3. Installing a backflow preventer in a pit or vault is not recom-

mended. An air gap below the relief port must be maintained so

as to avoid flooding and submersion of the assembly, which may

lead to a cross connection. Watts recommends installations in-

doors or above ground in an insulated enclosure. (Send for ES-WB)

4. A strainer should be installed ahead of the backflow preventer to

protect the discs from unnecessary fouling.

CAUTION: Do not install a strainer ahead of the backflow preven-

ter on seldom-used, emergency water lines (i.e. fire sprinkler

lines). The strainer mesh could potentially become clogged with

debris present in the water and cause water blockage during an

emergency.

5. Normal discharge and nuisance spitting are accommodated by

the use of a Watts air gap fitting and a fabricated indirect waste

line. Floor drains of the same size MUST be provided in case of

excessive discharge.

6. When a Series 995 backflow preventer is installed for dead-end

service applications, discharge from the relief vent may occur due

to water supply pressure fluctuation during static no-flow condi-

tions. A spring load soft-seated check valve may be required ahead

of the backflow preventer.

7. ASSEMBLY: If the backflow preventer is disassembled during in-

stallation, it MUST be reassembled in its proper order. The gate

valve with the test cock is to mounted on the inlet side of the back-

flow preventer. The test cock must be on the inlet side of the

wedge. Failure to reassemble correctly will result in possible water

damage due to excessive discharge from the relief port/vent and

possible malfunction of the backflow preventer.

8. Prior to installation, thoroughly flush pipe line to remove any for-

eign matter.

9. START UP at Initial Installations and After Servicing: The down-

stream shutoff should be closed. Slowly open upstream shutoff

and allow the backflow preventer to fill slowly. Bleed air at each

test cock. When backflow preventer is filled, slowly open the

downstream shutoff and fill the water supply system. This is nec-

essary to avoid water hammer or shock damage.

Watts Series 995 Installation Instructions

Installation

A.Series 995 may be installed in a horizontal or vertical flow up posi-

tion (Z995 Series). The shutoff valve with the test cock is to be

mounted on the inlet side of the backflow preventer. The test cock

is on the inlet side of the shutoff valve.

B. The 995 should always be installed in an accessible location to fa-

cilitate testing and servicing. Check the state and local codes to in-

sure that the backflow preventer is installed in compliance, such as

the proper height above the ground. The backflow preventer must be

supported and is not designed to carry full weight of the stand pipe.

C. Water discharge from the relief valve should be vented in accor-

dance with code requirements. The relief valve should never be sol-

idly piped into a drainage ditch, sewer or sump. The discharge should

be funneled through a Watts air gap fitting piped to a floor drain.

D. Watts recommends a strainer be installed ahead of Watts Series

995 assemblies to protect the discs from unnecessary fouling.

*For additional information on Watts insulated enclosures send for ES-WB of ES-WBT

Start Up

E.The downstream shutoff should be closed. Open upstream slowly, fill the

valve and bleed the air through Test cock 2, 3 and 4. When valve is

filled, open the downstream shutoff slowly and fill the water supply sys-

tem. This is necessary to avoid water hammer or shock damage.

F.The installation of a Watts air gap with the drain line terminating above a

floor drain will handle any normal discharge or nuisance spitting

through the relief valve. However, floor drain size may need to be de-

signed to prevent water damage caused by a catastrophic failure condi-

tion. Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting.

G. Two or more smaller size valves can be piped in parallel (when ap-

proved) to serve a large supply pipe main. This type of installation is

employed where increase capacity is needed beyond that provided by a

single valve and permits testing or servicing of an individual valve with-

out shutting down the complete line.

The number of assemblies used in parallel should be determined by the

engineer’s judgement based on the operating conditions of a specific in-

stallation.

Servicing First and Second Checks

1. Slowly open all ball valves to relieve air and water pressure.

After pressure is relieved, loosen bolts on groove coupler and

remove groove coupler and cover plate from valve body.

2. Remove #1 Check Assembly. Do not use Check Arm as a

handle to unscrew the Check. Insert lid bolts in 1st check seat

ring (see fig. 1), insert a long screwdriver or pry bar between

lid bolts. Gently apply pressure against the bolts and turn seat

assembly counter clockwise moving bolts hole to hole to main-

tain turning leverage (two additional bolts will eliminate need to

move lid bolts from hole to hole). Finish unscrewing by hand

and remove through top access port. Unscrew #2 Check (turn

counter-clock wise) by placing a long screwdriver across lid

3. To clean Check, locate the Check Arm opening stud on the out

let flange of the valve assembly. Slide the Arm over the stud

with the check threads facing downward (fig. 2). Tighten 1/4"

nut on stud to secure cam bar. Slowly pull the assembly out

ward to open check allowing exposure of the seat and clapper

contact area for cleaning. The assembly may be locked open by

aligning the holes in the cam bar and hinge arms and inserting

a rod (fig. 4).
