Please Read Prior to Installation:

1. Before installing any Ames assembly, Flush the Line thoroughly

to remove all debris, chips and other foreign objects. Failure to

do so may make the assembly inoperable.

2. The Ames 4000SS and 5000SS Reduced Pressure Zone As-

semblies are approved by ASSE (American Society of Sanitation

Engineers) to be installed in horizontal positions. Local water

authorities must approve all installation configurations.

3. Allow sufficient clearance around the installed assembly to

conduct testing, servicing, and inspection. Allow a minimum of 12"

from the flood level to the bottom of the assembly.

4. The 4000SS and 5000SS are not recommended for pit installa-

tions. Where necessary, an Air Gap drain may be connected to

the relief valve to minimize flooding of the surrounding area. Flood-

ing may cause a cross-connection. Be sure to contact local code

authorities for proper installations.

5. If installing on fire protection system, be sure to purge air from fire

system. Fill system slowly with all inspectors test valves open.
