FPTC-1
Thermostatic Freeze Relief Kits
Sizes: 1 ⁄ 8" – 3 ⁄ 4" (3 – 20mm)
The FPTC-1 Thermostatically measures thewater temperature and will open at 35°F andclose at 40ºF. This design keeps the waterfrom freezing in the backflow preventer,while avoiding discharges based on the airtemperature dropping to or below freezing.
Installation InstructionsThe FPTC-1 should be installed where freezing is of concern based on exposed piping. Whenthe valve is used in conjunction with a backflow preventer, the FPTC-1 should be located downstream of the assembly. Please note that additional FPTC-1s can be located upstream if desired.
The valve can be installed at any orientation to the centerline of the pipeline. However, whenev-er possible the valve should be vertical down to horizontal. This will allow the water to drain outof the FPTC-1’s outlet and avoid the potential of an ice dam impairing the function of the valve.
Care should be given to ensure that discharged water will be adequately piped away from areaswhere slipping on ice could be a danger, like roadways and pathways. Do not insulate the FPTC-1or install it where it will be exposed to a heat source.

Note: That when insulating piping, freeze relief should not be insulated to
guarantee that this is the coldest section.
