Series LF289 is designed for indoor point of use applications
to prevent backsiphonage of contaminated water back into the
potable water supply. Separation of the water supply from the air
inlet is accomplished by means of a diaphragm seal. This fea-
ture protects against any spillage during start-up operation. The
LF289 features Lead Free* construction to comply with Lead
Free* installation requirements.
