The repair parts are then installed, and the water supply is turned on (inlet water supply valve first). The local building code may dictate whether or not a homeowner is allowed to repair the backflow device. If a homeowner is permitted to repair the backflow device, an inspection of some sort is likely required.

Water is spraying from the pressure vacuum breaker usually when there are leaks with the internal bushings or seals. Replace the seals to fix the problem of spraying water.

Local plumbing code likely will require that your irrigation system be protected by atmospheric- or pressure-type vacuum breakers.

Regular maintenance for a pressure vacuum breaker is minimal. The internal components may need replacement every five years. Check on the PVB whenever inspecting the irrigation system.

When the air pressure exceeds the water pressure, the vented chamber opens and breaks the suction effect of the low pressure. This prevents the water from backflowing.

Since our price for this product is lower then MAP, the manufacturer does not allow us to display our lowest price until you place the product in the shopping cart. This allows us to continue offering our lowest prices while staying consistent with product manufacturer's policy.

Once the sprinkler system is winterized, the valves on a PVB typically are opened halfway to allow air to escape if residual water inside the PVB freezes. Air will prevent pressure buildup that can damage the parts.

A pressure vacuum breaker prevents water contamination. Most local building codes require a backflow prevention device on water systems.

A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is a safety component of irrigation systems. It stops non-potable irrigation system water from flowing back to your home's drinking water supply.

The internal components of a pressure vacuum breaker can become damaged by freezing and through regular use over time. A clear sign that something is not working properly is leaking from under the bell or bonnet assembly of the valve. Repair kits are available from the manufacturer specific to each PVB model.

O-ring gaskets that seal against the inner walls of the breaker might become brittle and crack over time. The plastic poppet and bonnet can also wear out. When these components malfunction, this can cause water to pour out from under the cap.

Dry All's Pressure Relief Valve serves to prevent over-pressure occurrences resulting from system malfunctions or elevated external temperatures.

Backflow can occur if there is a sudden drop in the water pressure in the home's main water supply. For example, if the city water is interrupted for any reason, this could result in negative pressure on the home's main supply. Though rare, negative pressure can cause the water to flow backward in the pipes.

The most important regular maintenance item is protecting the PVB from freezing during cold weather. Draining the PVB during a sprinkler blowout is critical for winterizing a sprinkler system.

A pressure vacuum breaker is installed close to the water source before entering the sprinkler valves. It must be installed above the highest point in the system, usually the highest sprinkler head or the highest slope in the yard.

Since there is usually only one water system in the home for drinking water and all household use, including irrigation, there is always the risk of cross-contamination from backflow.
