Double Check Valve Testing in Farlington, KS

A double check valve assembly, or DCVA, has two independent spring-loaded checks between two resilient-seated shutoffs and four test cocks. It is approved for low-hazard connections, so you see it on many fire lines, apartment services and some irrigation systems.

The tester bleeds and reads each check separately. Each one has to hold a differential of at least 1.0 psid. If a check reads lower, the cause is usually a worn rubber disc, a weak spring or debris across the seat.

Unlike an RPZ, a DCVA can be installed in a pit or vault in many jurisdictions, which brings its own problems. Flooded vaults make test cocks hard to reach and corrode the bolts. Testers often pump the vault before they can start.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with local testers in Farlington, KS for double check valve testing, report filing with your purveyor and repair if a check fails. Good backflow prevention depends on both checks holding, not one. Call (833) 990-5874.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Double Check Valve Testing in Farlington, KS.

Talk to a person
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Farlington, KS need a backflow preventer?
Almost every US plumbing code requires one on irrigation, since fertilizer, pesticide and standing water at the heads can siphon back. The device type depends on local code and how the system is laid out.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
How much does backflow testing cost in Farlington, KS?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Farlington, KS.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?
Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
