When a backflow preventer continuously dumps water from its relief port or fails its annual inspection, prompt repair prevents water loss and protects interior plumbing lines.
Different hazards require specific backflow assembly designs. Our DPOR-certified specialists are qualified to service all approved devices:
| Device Type | Primary Application | Hazard Level |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) | Commercial Buildings, Boilers, High-Risk Systems | High Hazard (Health Hazard) |
| Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) | Indoor Plumbing, Fire Lines (Low Hazard) | Low Hazard (Non-Health) |
| Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) | Residential Lawn Irrigation, Landscape Sprinklers | High Hazard (Outdoor Backsiphonage) |
| Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) | Hose Bibbs, Point-of-Use Supply Connections | Low to Medium Hazard |
Offers maximum mechanical protection against backsiphonage and backpressure. RPZs feature two independent check valves and an intermediate differential relief valve, making them mandatory for commercial applications, boilers, and high-hazard plumbing.
Consists of two spring-loaded check valves in series. DCVs are typically installed indoors or in subterranean vaults for low-hazard non-health risks.
