5. 사용 설명서
The Watts 009M2 is designed for continuous pressure operation. Normal operation involves the device being fully open, allowing water to flow through the system while providing backflow protection.
- Shutoff Valves: The quarter-turn ball valve shutoffs (with tee handles) are used to isolate the backflow preventer for maintenance or testing.
- To open: Turn the handle parallel to the pipe.
- To close: Turn the handle perpendicular to the pipe.
- Always operate these valves slowly to prevent water hammer.
- 테스트용 수탉: The top-mounted test cocks are used by certified backflow prevention testers to verify the proper function of the check valves and relief valve. These should only be operated by qualified personnel during testing procedures.
