TO DRAIN: Shutoff supply to N9-CD and turn the device counterclockwise while applying a gentle pull at the same time. Water will be observed draining from the inlet connection of the device.

APPLICATIONS: The N9-CD is designed for noncontinuous pressure, backsiphonage protection and health hazard applications such as chemical dispensers and hose bibbs.

MAINTENANCE: Annual inspection and testing is recommended since cleaning and checking of all water system safety valves assures maximum life and proper product function.
