Backflow preventers offer protection through their multiple failsafe features in case of backflow. One example is the double check valve assembly (DCVA) which has two check valves and an atmospheric vent for protection, with a backup valve in case of failure. The vent creates an air gap to prevent backflow from backpressure. If the vent becomes blocked, a relief valve opens to release pressure and prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the main supply. The DCVA's combination of check valves, vent, and relief valve provides a failsafe design to protect the main water supply. Other types of backflow preventers similarly offer multiple failsafe features.

There are different types of backflow preventers with varying mechanisms. The best backflow preventer for an application may depend on local regulations or specifics of the plumbing system.

A backwater valve is used to prevent sewage from flowing back into a building. A check valve stops media from flowing through it in the reverse direction. These two valves differ in their application.

A check valve cannot be regarded as a safe substitute for a backflow preventer, especially when safeguarding drinking water.

Pressurevalve

This is the port through which the fluid leaving the valve passes. This is the fluid whose pressure has been regulated so as not to damage plumping fixtures downstream.

A backwater valve stops sewage from flowing back into a building whereas a backflow preventer valve prevents contaminated water from mixing with drinking water.

Selection of the right PRV valve will need one to know the fluid flow rate and pipe size to ensure that the pipe and valve will withstand such flow loads. A valve operating on very high loads may experience leakages and thus losses.

Pressure reliefvalve

PRV valve manufacturers design different PRV valves for use at different pressure levels. Each valve has the output and input pressure levels. The inlet and outlet pressure ratings of the application need to be known to select the best PRV valve. This will also help determine the needed accuracy.

While having similar functions, backflow preventers and check valves are distinctly different devices by application. A backflow preventer is necessary to prevent contaminated water from flowing into potable or municipal water sources. Check valves are also one way valves, but cannot offer the high level of protection that backflow preventers do. This article overviews the primary differences between backflow preventers and check valves and describes different types of backflow preventers.

Water pressure regulator

A backflow preventer’s function (Figure 2) is to stop water from flowing in the opposite direction. The only purpose of a backflow preventer is to stop contaminated water from flowing into a source of potable water. Backflow preventers are installed at cross-connection points, such as where municipal drinking water enters a residential or commercial building or where the water supply attaches to appliances like a washing machine or dishwasher. Check with the local regulations to understand exactly where backflow preventers are necessary in a plumbing system.

Safety valves

A PRV valve manufacturer designs this valve with a dome shape. This valve is installed ahead of the shutoff valve where fluid pressure needs to be regulated to prevent damage on other piping fixtures. PRV valve manufacturers design this valve with an adjusting screw on the top. There is a variable spring-loaded diaphragm in the valve that is used to automatically widen and narrow based on the amount of fluid pressure entering the PRV valve. When the fluid enters the PRV valve at high pressure, the internal mechanism compresses the diaphragm to reduce fluid flow. This can help reduce fluid pressure which then reduces stresses on the fixtures and pipe installed past the PRV valve. On the other hand, when the incoming fluid pressure reduces, the diaphragm widens allowing more fluid to flow through the valve. An adjustment screw mounted on the top can be tightened to enhance the tension on the spring inside (this lowers the fluid pressure at the exit) or loosened to allow fluid to flow freely through the valve (which increases the exit fluid pressure). When the piping system is protected by the PRV valve, inner valves of appliances, shutoff valves, and faucets are less likely to have fluid leakage and fluid pressure fluctuations are evened out.

PRV means pressure reducing valve. A PRV valve is a control valve used to reduce high unregulated inlet pressure to constant outlet pressure despite the fluctuations in the upstream pressure. A PRV valve reduces excess pressure in a piping system. This valve is also known as pressure reducing regulator. PRV valves are used in applications such as steam, water, gas, and oil industries. PRV valve helps to reduce pressure to safe working levels before the fluid reaches any plumbing apparatus within the area of application. Very high pressure can result in plumping problems and thus PRV valves are very necessary to prevent such. A good example of a PRV valve application is often found in a municipal water supply system where it is used to reduce water flow pressure to ensure no damage to plumping fixtures when it flows to the home piping system.

Check valves and backflow preventers are two different devices. Backflow preventers are specifically designed to prevent contaminated water from mixing with potable or municipal water sources.

This is a PRV valve used for large loads that need close pressure control. These valves provide a quick response to changes in load and they are suitable for a wide range of fluid flow rates relative to the direct-acting types. Pilot-operated PRV valves are larger and they are more expensive. PRV valve manufacturers design this valve to use a pilot valve to load a diaphragm or piston that increases the downward force needed to open the larger valve. This enhances large flow capacity with low variation in pressure. The closing and opening of the pilot valve can be controlled by balancing the force between the secondary pressure and the adjustment spring. The pilot valve helps to deliver pressure to the diaphragm or main valve piston. The downward force resulting from the pilot flow pressure is multiplied by the diaphragm or piston areas. This enhances the opening of the large or main valve which enhances very high flow rates.

This is a PRV valve that is ideal for small pressure loads where precise fluid pressure control is not necessary. PRV valve manufacturers design this valve to have compact size, easy installation and low cost. However, this valve has more set pressure variation relative to other PRV valves. PRV valve manufacturers design this valve for point-of-use services. Direct-acting PRV valve is the simplest type of PRV valve. This valve operates with convoluted bellows or a flat diaphragm.. This valve has +/- 10% accuracy of the downstream set point. This valve is designed such that adjustment spring movement helps to open the valve directly. Compression of the spring produces an opening force that helps increase fluid flow. When the pressure rises downstream, leveling occurs when the downstream pressure is fed to the underside of the adjusting spring to counter-balance against spring compression. The compressive force of the spring is restricted to enhance enough spring sensitivity to level up with changes in downstream pressure. This results in a simple fluid pressure control via the valve orifice. However, fluid with high flow rate causes pressure variation.

This is the component of a PRV valve that is pressed upwards to allow the valve to open to allow fluid flow into the low-pressure pipeline.

PRV valve manufacturers use different materials to make different components of the PRV valve. Each material has its thermal properties different from other materials. As such, it is important to know the range of operating temperature to make the PRV valve manufacturer or vendor select the best valve that cannot be damaged by low or very high temperatures.

This is component on which the valve operator can apply force to rotate a screw that moves down or upwards to vary fluid pressure.

This is the component used to house the interior parts of the PRV valve. PRV valve manufacturers design the body using strong materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel to make sure it has high strength enough to withstand fluid pressure as well as weight loads of other components.

Some PRV valves are meant for use in non-corrosive fluids while others are meant for use in corrosive, viscous, and or containing solid particles. As such, knowing the specific type of fluid will help the PRV valve manufacturer or vendor to provide the best valve for that job.

Regulatingvalve

PRV means pressure reducing valve. This is a control valve used to regulate high inlet pressure to constant outlet pressure. This pressure reduction is necessary as it helps prevent damage to plumping fixtures upstream. Such fixtures are designed to withstand low fluid pressure and thus the need for a PRV valve.

Like a backflow preventer, a check valve stops media from flowing through it in the reverse direction. Check valves, however, do not offer the degree of protection that backflow preventers do and therefore are not suitable for protecting drinking water sources. If foreign material enters the check valve, it may block it open. In this case, there is no failsafe; the check valve will leak. Also, when check valves close too quickly, they become vulnerable to water hammer, which will damage the valve. Despite this, check valves are applicable for many applications. Read our water check valve and hydraulic check valve articles to learn more about specific applications. To learn about these valves in general, read our check valve overview article.

PRV valve manufacturers design this valve with a handle used to adjust the required fluid pressure. The handle has a threaded stem and spring that helps to either raise or lower the level of pressure downstream of the PRV valve. There are various types of these valves and the most common two are direct-acting PRV valves and pilot-operated PRV valves.

This is a screw with a lock nut and is used to change spring pressure. The screw is rotated from the handle and it moves up or downwards to change pressure.

Backflow is the reversal of a fluid's flow due to back pressure or back siphoning. If backflow occurs, it can cause issues for certain applications. For example, if contaminated water backflows into a clean water supply.

Because of this multiplication, a small change on the pilot valve opening results in a significant change in the fluid flow and downstream pressure via the main valve. As such, when the adjustment spring force makes a small change on the pilot, it results in a fast response and a wide range of flow rates. Pilot-operate PRV valves have the advantage of tight downstream pressure control and fast response. PRV valve manufacturers produce two types of pilot-operated valves which are:
