Installations

Your water district may send you a letter or notice to have a backflow device installed, when they do you need Water King to lend a hand. It can be a very complicated process. We are familiar with the requirements, application, and process of installing backflow prevention devices. We are a licensed and insured company with the experience to handle any of your backflow installation requests. Water King has been Installing Backflow Prevention Devices for over 30yrs. There are two types of installations that we will outline below.

1 Existing water service: In this type of installation you will normally receive a letter from your water supplier that will mandate you comply with the sanitary code and have a backflow prevention device installed. Shown above is an installation of a 3/4 backflow prevention device, a Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) on the existing water service line in the basement of a small commercial building.

Guidelines for Designing Backflow Prevention Assembly Installations:

Application forms may be required by your water supplier (water district). However not in all cases are application and plans mandatory, such as small residential services, so it is important to understand the policies set forth by the individual water districts. Some of the water districts you can find links to on our website menu for water districts for more details on their backflow prevention policies. Below is a sample of an engineered drawing for a new RPZ installation.

1 A New water service: In this type of installation you will need to apply for when you apply for a new water service. Here you will need to have to submita approved set of plans for the new water service as well an approval from the cross-connection department to evaluate your degree of hazard. This is a survey of the property attributes that contribute to the selected device and its installation requirements. Water King can do all your applications and submit to your water district along with proper drawings. We install fire service lines as well as domestic service lines. Above are some installation of backflow devices and below are some water service line installation pictures.

We install only water district approved devices, sizes ¾’’ through 8’’ and provide all necessary documentation required by towns and municipalities. Our years of experience has granted us the ability to find the lowest cost way to handle even the most difficult installations.

Backflow Prevention Devices: Did you know that your local water suppliers have backflow prevention sanitary code laws set up by the state protecting your water supply. With our experience for over 30 years of installing, repairing and testing backflow devices we will help you stay in compliance with these laws. The compliance standards are usually set by your local county health department and enforced by your local water supplier.
