Beneficial Backflow Prevention Assembly Maintenance Techniques

The backflow prevention assembly is an expensive piece of equipment. Any ½” to 2” assembly can cost thousands of dollars to replace. The staff at Arizona Certified Backflow Testers LLC will help you avoid any such unnecessary expenses, if possible.

There are several things that you can do to protect your investment, including freeze and theft protection.
Insulated backflow covers

Insulate Your Backflow Assembly to Avoid Damage

When we think about insulation, we mainly worry about freeze protection which is the priority, as freeze damage can crack and warp the backflow assembly. In the summer months when water is not being used, the assembly can heat up and the plastic, silicone and rubber parts inside begin to degrade, soften, blister and eventually break. This results in more frequent repairs. In fact, we have measured assembly temperatures of over 140 degrees on a hot day.

We recommend covering the pipes and shut-off valves with a rubber or foam insulation and wrapping it with either a 2” 10 mil plumbing wrap or a +2” heavy foil wrap. You can also cover the backflow assembly with a freeze protection blanket. Contact us for a FREE estimate right away! 

Most times, we see the pipes insulated and the assembly left open to the elements. Pipes are relatively cheap to replace. You need to take care of your backflow assembly first.
Insulated backflow system cage

Install a Cage to Protect Your Backflow Assembly

The problem of theft of backflow assemblies has continued to increase considerably over time. To avoid such a scenario, we recommend installing a cage over your backflow assembly. We provide cages built locally in Arizona and can provide you with an estimate for your needs.
