Series LF825YA
Angle Pattern Reduced
Pressure Zone Assemblies
Size: 3⁄4" - 2" (20 - 50mm)**
The FEBCO Series LF825YA Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies
are used to protect against toxic fluids in water services to industrial
plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, and chemical plants. They
are also used in irrigation systems, boiler feeds, water lines and
other installations requiring the highest level of mechanical protection. The LF825YA features Lead Free* construction to comply with
Lead Free* installation requirements. End connection – NPT ANSI/
ASME B1.20.1
Features
• Installation versatility simplifies new and retrofit installations.
• Eliminates pipe elbows, nipples and unions from the installation.
• Reduces installation time, labor costs and materials.
• Compact design simplifies retrofit.
• Integral flanged union connections allow assembly to be
removed from the line for freeze protection or maintenance without the danger of spool substitution.
• Approved by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and
Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California.
• Modular relief valve and check valve internal components for
ease of maintenance.
• Smaller, less costly protective enclosures can be used to provide
freeze and vandalism protection due to compact size of valve.
• Field tested design for reliability and performance.
• Replaceable seat rings for longer valve life.
• Low head loss for optimum performance.
Operation
In a flow condition, the check valves are open with the pressure
between the checks, called the zone, being maintained at least 5psi
(34 kPa) lower than the inlet pressure. The relief valve is held closed
by the pressure differential.
Should abnormal conditions arise under no flow or reversal of flow,
the differential relief valve will open and discharge to maintain the
zone at least 2psi (14 kPa) lower than the supply.
When normal flow resumes, the zone’s differential pressure will
return and the relief valve will close.
Approvals – Standards
• Approved by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and
Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California.

LF825YA
U.S. Patent No. 4,991,622
Specifications
The reduced pressure zone assemblies shall consist of two independently operating, spring loaded, "Y" pattern check valves and
one hydraulically dependent differential relief valve. Should the differential between the upstream and the zone of the unit drop to
2psi (14 kPa), the differential relief valve shall open and maintain the
proper differential.
Mainline valve body and caps including relief valve body and cover
shall be Lead Free* cast copper silicon alloy. Check valve moving
members shall be center stem guided. Relief valve shall have a
removable seat ring. Check valve and relief valve components shall
be constructed so they may be serviced without removing the valve
body from the line. All seat discs shall be reversible.
The assembly shall include flanged unions located between the
mainline valve body and the ball valve shutoffs to allow for field
removal for freeze protection or maintenance without danger
of spool replacement. The Lead Free* Angle Pattern Reduced
Pressure Zone Assemblies shall comply with state codes and standards, where applicable, requiring reduced lead content.
The assembly shall be rated to 175psi (12.1 bar) water working
pressure and water temperature range from 32ºF to 140ºF (0ºC
– 60ºC). The assembly shall meet the requirements of the USC
Foundation of Cross-connection Control and Hydraulic Research,
Eighth Edition.
The assembly shall be a FEBCO Series LF825YA or prior approved equal.
