Series 800M4FR is designed to prevent back-siphonage of
contaminated water under continuous pressure into the potable
water supply. Its superior design protects the valve body and
internal components during sudden freeze conditions. Water
inside the PVB freezes from the outside-inward.
As the ice forms and expands, causing a buildup of pressure,
the 800M4FR relieves the pressure through a unique relief valve
built into the plastic float.
Test cocks are positioned at the lowest point of the valve for
winterization draining. The 800M4FR is reusable with the relief
valve designed to automatically re-seat. It will not discharge
through the relief valve during normal operation. (The built-in
relief valve is not designed to provide freeze protection for the
entire irrigation system.)

Specifications
Pressure Vacuum Breakers
A pressure anti-siphon vacuum breaker shall be installed where
indicated on the plans to prevent the back-siphonage of con-
taminated water. This assembly is not to be used where there
is a possibility that a back pressure condition may develop. The
assembly will incorporate an acetal bonnet with silicone rubber
O-ring seal and silicone rubber seat disc. The valve shall have
replaceable seats. Check assembly shall be guided over its full
stroke by ‘V’ notch guides.
The assembly shall include an internal, built-in relief valve
designed to protect the internal components and the backflow
body from freezing. The relief valve shall be repeatable, auto-
matically re-seating when the pressure within the valve is below
the set point of the freeze relief valve.
The assembly shall meet the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Stan-
dard 1020.
The valve shall be a Watts Series 800M4FR.
