You are required to thoroughly read all installation instructions and product safety
information before beginning the installation of this product. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE WHICH CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. FEBCO is not responsible for damages
resulting from improper installation and/or maintenance.
Local building or plumbing codes may require modifications to the information
provided. You are required to consult the local building and plumbing codes prior
to installation. If this information is not consistent with local building or plumbing
codes, the local codes should be followed.
Need for Periodic Inspection/Maintenance: This product must be tested periodi-
cally in compliance with local codes, but at least once per year or more as service
conditions warrant. Corrosive water conditions, and/or unauthorized adjustments or
repair could render the product ineffective for the service intended. Regular check-
ing and cleaning of the product’s internal components helps ensure maximum life
and proper product function.
Installation Instructions
1. These instructions apply to models 860 (RP), 860U (RP), LF860 (RP), and
LF860U (RP) sizes 1 ⁄
2
" - 2" (15 - 50mm) only. The valves may be installed only in
the orientation/flow direction as shown.
2. THE VALVE ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WHERE RELIEF VALVE
DISCHARGE WILL BE ACCEPTABLE, OR WHERE RELIEF DISCHARGE CAN
BE COMPLETELY DRAINED. The valve assembly must be installed where it is
accessible for periodic testing and maintenance. Clearances shown in the instal-
lation views apply to exterior and interior installations and are only recommenda-
tions. These minimums do not apply to removable protective enclosures. Refer
to local codes for actual requirements in your area.
Note: The gap drain is not designed to catch the maximum discharge possible
from the relief valve. The installation of FEBCO air gap with the drain line termi-
nating above a floor drain will handle any normal discharge or nuisance 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.
3. PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE VALVE INTO THE LINE, FLUSH THE SUPPLY LINE
OF ALL FOREIGN MATERIAL. Failure to flush the supply line may cause the
Check Valve Disassembly cont.
6. Inspect for debris, damage or fouling of the seat disc. Clean and/or replace parts
as required.
7. Reassemble the valve in the reverse order of disassembly. Ensure the orienta-
tion of the 1st check assembly is positioned so that one (#2) of the four (4) flow
path windows faces down towards the relief valve.
Relief Valve Disassembly
1. 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.
2. Remove the relief valve cover bolts, cover and relief valve assembly in accor-
dance with the FEBCO maintenance manual.
3. Inspect/clean seat surfaces, seals and diaphragm. Replace worn or damaged
parts as required.
4. Reassemble the relief valve in the reverse order of disassembly.
Test Procedures
FEBCO recommends the use of the appropriate test method presented in the ASSE
Series 5000 manual that is consistent with your local codes.

check valves to become fouled and require disassembly and cleaning.
4. After installation SLOWLY fill the assembly with water and bleed air from the body using
the #2, # 3 and # 4 test cocks. Test the valve assembly to ensure correct operation.
NOTE: All assemblies are tested at the factory for proper operation and leakage. If the
valve does not pass the field test, it is most likely due to a fouled check valve. This is not
covered by the factory warranty. The valve cover must be removed and the check seats
inspected and cleaned. Any damage or improper operation caused by pipeline debris or
improper installation/start-up is not included in the factory warranty.
In case of a possible warranty claim, contact your local supplier or FEBCO
Representative. DO NOT REMOVE THE VALVE ASSEMBLY FROM THE PIPELINE.
5. The assembly must be protected from freezing and excessive pressure increases. Thermal
expansion or water hammer can cause pressure increases. These excessive pressure situ-
ations must be eliminated to protect the valve and system from possible damage.
6. Plastic testcock plugs and tethers are provided (loose in box) for areas that require them.
Service and Maintenance
General
1. Detailed maintenance manuals are available from your local FEBCO representative.
2. Rinse all parts with clean water prior to reassembly.
3. DO NOT USE PIPE DOPE, OIL, GREASE OR SOLVENT ON ANY PARTS unless instruct-
ed 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.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
1. Continuous relief a. Debris on check Disassemble and clean
valve discharge seating surface
b. Debris on relief valve Disassemble and clean
seating surfaces
2. Intermittent relief a. Inlet pressure fluctuations Eliminate fluctuations
valve discharge b. Downstream pressure surges Eliminate surges
Check Valve Disassembly
1. Remove cover-bolts using the appropriate size wrench.
2. Remove the spacer between the checks by grasping the flanged end of spacer and pull-
ing straight up.
3. Remove the inlet check assembly by pulling it out from the body bore, in the direction of
flow, until it is completely exposed, then lift out of body.
4. Remove the outlet check assembly by placing the tip of a medium sized flat slotted screw
driver in the slot of the seat and pry the check assembly back until the O-ring is exposed.
Then, using your fingers, pull it out from the body bore until it is completely exposed. Lift
check assembly from the body.
5. Both check assemblies are disassembled and reassembled in the same manner. To disas-
semble, grasp the seat section in one hand and the guide section in the other hand.
Rotate in a counter-clockwise direction (approximately 1 ⁄
8
turn) until the two parts disen-
gage.
