3048 Series

Dual Check Backflow Preventer

Function

Low lead dual check valve backflow preventer for residential

domestic water supply lines or commercial low-hazard backflow

applications. It prevents reverse flow of unsafe water into main

system water supply. This can occur due to pressure changes in

the distribution network that can force water flow in reverse, or

backwards. The two inline serviceable check valves prevent any

contact between the two systems, closing automatically when

backflow conditions occur. The Caleffi 3048 series is certified to

ASSE 1024 by ICC-ES.

The valve complies with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 (180°F/82°C Commercial

Hot) as certified by ICC-ES, and complies with NSF/ANSI/CAN 372,

low lead, and codes IPC and UPC or use in accordance with the US

and Canadian plumbing codes, as certified by ICC-ES.

result in property damage and / or personal injury.

CAUTION: System fluids under pressure or temperature can be hazardous.

Be sure the pressure has been reduced to zero and the system temperature

is below 100°F (38°C). Failure to follow these instructions could result in

property damage and/or personal injury.

CAUTION: If the device is not installed properly, according to the instructions

contained in this manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the

DIRECTION

OF FLOW

WATER METER DUAL CHECK

The Caleffi 3048 series dual check backflow preventer is typically installed downstream of a water

meter. A pressure reducing valve (if required) may be installed on either side of the dual check

backflow preventer, all subject to local codes and standards.

The dual check backflow preventer can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical pipe; the

checks are spring loaded and will function independent of orientation. Verify that the flow direction

matches the flow indication arrow on the dual check backflow preventer.

If installing models with sweat tailpiece connectors, always sweat the connectors in place then

install the 3048 union body. Attempting to sweat the fittings with the body in place may damage

the check valves.

For serviceability, always install the 3048 in an accessible location and protect the 3048

from potential freezing conditions. Installing isolation valves is highly recommended to permit

disassembly for servicing.

When installing the dual check backflow preventer, make sure not to over-tighten the connections.

Over time, a material stress failure can occur with subsequent water leakage causing damage.

The 3048 has dual union connections with Posi-Stop o-ring seals which do not require pipe dope

or tape. See graphic on next page.

Service, maintenance:

The Caleffi 3048 should be inspected and cleaned, rebuilt or replaced every 5 years. If excessive

pressure drop is experienced in the domestic water supply, dirt or other debris may be causing higher

than normal pressure drop in the dual check backflow preventer. The 3048 can be easily inspected

by removing the body from the dual union connectors. To disassemble the check valves, remove the

sealing brass ring from the downstream side.
