number 106411177. The length
of the hose between the back­fl ow preventer and the high
pressure washer must be at
least 10 metres to absorb pos­sible pressure peaks (min diam­eter ½ inch).
Operation by suction (for ex­ample from a rainwater vessel)
is carried out without backfl ow
preventer. Recommended suc­tion set: 126411387.
As soon as water has fl own
through the BA valve, this water
is not considered to be drinking
water any more.

IMPORTANT! Only use wa­ter without any impurities. If

there is a risk of silt, sand or
sediment in the inlet water (i.e.
from your own well), an addi­tional fi lter should be mounted.
