MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Limited Warranty: FEBCO warrants each product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal usage for a period of one year from the date of original shipment. In the event of
such defects within the warranty period, the Company will, at its option, replace or recondition the product without charge. This shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty, and
the Company shall not be responsible for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including without limitation, lost profits or the cost of repairing or replacing other property which is damaged
if this product does not work properly, other costs resulting from labor charges, delays, vandalism, negligence, fouling caused by foreign material, damage from adverse water conditions, chemical, or
any other circumstances over which the Company has no control. This warranty shall be invalidated by any abuse, misuse, misapplication or improper installation of the product. THIS WARRANTY IS IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Any implied warranties that
are imposed by law are limited in duration to one year.
Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore the above limitations
may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from State to State. You should consult applicable state laws to determine your rights.
Service and Maintenance
Service Procedure
Close the outlet shutoff valve, then close the inlet shutoff valve. Bleed
residual pressure from the assembly by opening the #4, #3, and # 2 test
cocks in this sequence.
General
1. Detailed maintenance manuals are available from your local FEBCO rep-
resentitive.
2. Rinse all parts with clean water prior to reassembly.
3. DO NOT USE ANY PIPE DOPE, OIL, GREASE OR SOLVENT ON ANY
PARTS unless instructed to do so.
4. Do not force parts. Parts should fit together freely. Excess force may
cause damage and render the assembly inoperable.
5. Carefully inspect seals and seating surfaces for debris or damage.
6. After servicing, repressurize the assembly and test to ensure proper
operation.
Check Valve Disassembly
1. CAUTION: The cover retains the spring on 2
1
⁄2" - 3" (65 - 80mm) valve
sizes. Remove the cover capscrews uniformly while holding the cover in
place. Carefully reduce hand force on the cover to relieve spring com-
pression.
The check module on the 4" - 10" (100 - 250mm) valve sizes retains the
spring. Unscrew the capscrews uniformly to avoid binding the cover in
the body bore. The spring will push the cover approximately
1
⁄2" off the
top of the body.
2. Lift the spring and check assembly 2
1
⁄2" - 3" (65 - 80mm) or check mod-
ule 4" - 10" (100 - 250mm) from the body.
3. Inspect and clean debris from the disc and seat ring. Replace any dam-
aged parts.
4. Use the reverse procedure to assemble. If necessary, apply a thin film
of FDA/NSF approved grease to cover the O-ring. Install the capscrews
and tighten in a uniform cross pattern.
Relief Valve Disassembly
1. Remove the capscrews holding the cover to the relief valve body, and
remove the cover.
2. Remove the diaphragm and pull the internal assembly from the body. It
may be helpful to push the internal assembly with your fingers through
the discharge opening.
3. Inspect for debris, damage or fouling of the seat disc. Clean or replace
the rubber disc as required.
4. Reposition the internal assembly and diaphragm into the body. Install
the cover and cap screws.
Field Test Procedure
FEBCO recommends the use of the appropriate test method presented in
the ASSE Series 5000 manual that is consistent with your local codes.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
1. Continuous relief a. Debris on check Disassemble and clean
valve discharge seating surfaces
b. Debris on relief valve Disassemble and clean
seating surfaces
2. Intermittent relief a. Inlet pressure fluctuations Eliminate fluctuations
valve discharge
b. Downstream pressure Eliminate surges
surges
3. Low flows passing a. Mainline check fouled Disassemble and clean
through mainline b. Bypass line plugged Disassemble and clean
valve (RPDA)
Note: The gap drain is not designed to catch the maximum discharge pos-
sible from the relief valve. The installation of FEBCO air gap with the drain
line terminating above a floor drain will handle any normal discharge or nui-
sance spitting through the relief valve. However, floor drain size may need
to be designed to prevent water damage caused by a catastrophic failure
condition. Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting.
