- Pressure vacuum breaker backflow assembly installed on schedule 80 pipe and fittings
Pressure vacuum breaker backflow assembly installation is absolutely necessary for any irrigation sprinkler system within the Orlando or central Florida area. This type of backflow assembly protects the potable water system from cross contamination by preventing the reverse flow of water by backsiphonage.
When pressure vacuum breaker backflow assembly installation is undertaken at either your home or business it most propbably will need to be installed on either schedule 80 p.v.c. , galvanised or copper pipe & fittings to comply with local code. The pressure vacuum breaker backflow assembly must always be installed at a minimum of 12 inches above the highest irrigation head, but must not exceed a maximum height of 5 foot.
Any backflow assembly must be tested annually to comply with local code. They must be tested by a state cetified backflow tester with a pressure differential type gauge. If the backflow fails the test it must be repaired by a state certified tester that is also certified to repair the unit. The results must then be logged with with your local municipality by the test / repair contractor.
