Annual Backflow Testing in Kinta, OK

Your water utility mailed a notice. It names a device, a serial number and a due date. That letter is the start of annual backflow testing, and Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with a local tester in Kinta, OK who can handle it.

The tester closes the downstream shutoff, hooks a differential pressure gauge to the test cocks and reads each check valve in turn. On a double check, each check has to hold at least 1.0 psid. On an RPZ, the relief valve has to open at no less than 2.0 psid. The numbers go on the report exactly as read.

Most residential tests take about half an hour, and your water is off for part of it. Commercial assemblies take longer, especially 4 inch and larger devices.

If the device passes, the report gets filed. If it fails, you get the reason in plain words and the options: repair, rebuild or replace.

Backflow prevention only works when the device is checked on schedule. Call Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing at (833) 990-5874 to book your test in Kinta, OK.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Annual Backflow Testing in Kinta, OK.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Kinta, OK?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
Will my water be off during the test?
Yes, briefly. The tester closes the shutoff valves on the assembly while reading the checks, so water downstream of the device is off until the test is done.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Kinta, OK 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.
