1. Operating principle

The BABM backflow preventer with verifiable reduced

pressure zone includes:

• three zones: upstream, intermediate and downstream, each

equipped with a pressure measuring device.

• two independent check valves, separating the intermediate

zone.

• one automatic relief device connected to the intermediate

zone to restore it to atmospheric pressure in the event of a

failure.

This device is installed with a funnel with air gap.

Maintenance and accessibility of the internal components are

facilitated by the modular design of the replacement parts.

There can be no inversion or ﬂuctuations of pressure between the intermediate chamber and the circuit upstream of the backﬂow

preventer. The construction of the device in accordance with standards requires the upstream pressure to remain 140 mbar higher

than the pressure in the intermediate chamber at all times. This differential value controls the opening of the relief valve and the

drainage of the backﬂow preventer. Backﬂow preventers with veriﬁable reduced pressure zones self-protect against their own

malfunctions. The device is made safe in static pressure situations.

NORMAL FLOW CONDITIONS > FILLING / FLOW

START

The two check valves are opened. The relief valve is

closed (closing pressure is lower than the upstream

check valve opening pressure). Water is supplied to the

downstream chamber.

NO FLOW CONDITIONS > FLOW INTERRUPTION

The two check valves are closed. The relief valve is closed

(because the pressure required to close it is lower than

the pressure required to open the upstream check valve).

FLOW WITH

DEFECTIVE

The upstream pressure

increases the pressure

in the intermediate

chamber. The relief

valve opens and

causes a continuous

discharge.

OVERPRESSURE

WITH

DOWNSTREAM

CHECK VALVE

DEFECTIVE

The overpressure

2.1 Installation

Before installing the BA backflow preventer, check that:

• The BA device must be easily accessible to allow inspection,

maintenance and replacement of defective components

• Test points must be provided to enable the system to be

tested without difficulty

• It must not be installed in areas subject to flooding

• It must be installed in a ventilated area (non-polluted

atmosphere)

• The relief system must be capable of discharging the relief

flow

• It must be protected against frost and extreme temperatures

• It must be installed horizontally with the relief port facing

down

• The funnel, with air gap, must be connected to the relief

network

• It can only be used for potential backflow not exceeding the

relief capacity

The protection device must be installed by a qualified technician.

2.2 Commissioning procedures:

1. Flush and fully drain the upstream pipes before installing the

BA protection device with its accessories.

2. Install the BA protection device with its accessories, in the

direction of flow, as follows:

• Upstream: one type SOCLA V3000MF or equivalent manual

stop valve,

• Between the upstream valve and the device: one type

SOCLA Y222P or equivalent mesh strainer with drain cock.

• Downstream: one type SOCLA V3000MF or equivalent

manual stop valve

Adhere to the installation diagram below:

The protection system must be assembled without forcing the

inlet and outlet fittings

3. Remove the protection plug from the valve port

4. Fit the funnel on the BA protection device. It is designed

to be connected to a pipe (e.g. PVC discharge pipe) with

external diameter equal to the diameter shown in the table

below:

2.3 Filling with water:

During filling with water:

• The upstream and downstream valves are closed,

• Open the upstream valve slowly, to bring the BA protection

system up to pressure gradually,

• Open and close tap No. 1 and then taps 2 and 3 respectively

to drain the BA protection device,

• Open the downstream valve slowly, to commission the BA

protection system.

Once the BA protection system has been commissioned, it:

• Ensures that the downstream water requirement is met

• Protects the upstream network against the risk of pollution

PRECAUTIONS:

• In the case of an upstream diversion in the area right in front

of the backflow preventer, it is necessary to install a check

valve between the diversion and the backflow preventer.

1. Principio di funzionamento

Il disconnettore a zona di pressione ridotta controllabile BA

BM è costituito da:

• tre camere (a monte, intermedia, a valle), ciascuna dotata di

una presa di pressione;

• due valvole di ritegno indipendenti che separano la camera

intermedia;

• una valvola di scarico automatica collegata alla camera

intermedia per la messa in pressione atmosferica in caso di

guasto.

Il dispositivo è provvisto di un imbuto con intercapedine d’aria.

La manutenzione e l’accessibilità degli organi interni sono

agevolate dalla configurazione modulare dei ricambi.

BELGAQUA

ACS

Kiwa UK-REG 4

Tra la camera intermedia e la zona a monte del disconnettore non possono veriﬁcarsi riﬂussi né sbalzi di pressione. La struttura

del dispositivo, in conformità con le normative, prevede che la pressione a monte sia sempre superiore di 140 mbar rispetto

alla pressione della camera intermedia. Questo valore differenziale regola l’apertura della valvola di scarico e lo svuotamento del

disconnettore. Il disconnettore a zona di pressione ridotta controllabile si protegge autonomamente da eventuali malfunzionamenti.

In caso di pressione statica, si attiva la messa in sicurezza dell’unità.

I casi sono i seguenti:

CONDIZIONI CORRETTE DI FLUSSO > MESSA IN

ACQUA / AVVIO DEL FLUSSO

La due valvole di ritegno sono aperte. La valvola di scarico

è chiusa (la pressione di chiusura è inferiore alla pressione

di apertura della valvola di ritegno a monte). La zona a

valle è alimentata.

ARRESTO DELLA PORTATA > ARRESTO DEL

FLUSSO

Le due valvole di ritegno sono chiuse. La valvola di

scarico è chiusa (perché la pressione che serve per

chiuderla è inferiore alla pressione per aprire la valvola di

ritegno di monte).

ARRESTO

DEL FLUSSO CON

VALVOLA A MONTE

La pressione a monte

aumenta la pressione

La pressione nella

camera intermedia

aumenta, provocando

l’apertura della
