    Steve literally has a video for every problem I encounter with my house. Replacing Symmons shower valves, oil furnace maintenance, AC repair. Fantastic.

    Great work, Steve. Not only is the copper going to be more aesthetic, but if they forget to winterize again, the pipe will probably burst before the valve does.

    I had my own backflow test and repair business for years. That Watts 800 M4 PVB is the only backflow valve I would use from the Watts line. You did a great job.

    You do good work Steve. I had one go on my house. Good thing I was home. My neighbor knocked on my door and told me the anti back feed was spewing like Niagara falls. If I wasn't home it would have been a problem since the shutoff is inside.

    Back when steve's truck was in the shop for the brake repair the wife and i were out for a ride and i pulled into a little variety store and looked over to my right and there it was up on ramps the ice cream truck.On the way out i said to the wife hey look its the ice cream truck.She said its not ice cream its a repair mans truck. I said no its the ice cream truck and baby the dog sits right in that window.She looked at me and said maybe we should go home so you can lay down. When we got home i showed her a couple vids so she would get what i was talking about. She just smiled and said you still should go lay down. Had to share this with you folks..

    Clean work, only thing I’d do different is plastic mip to copper fip and let the solder settle a little longer before wiping the joint with wet rag, gives it a nice clean finish

    Why not incorporate a union /flange fitting, that would allow disassembly later, in case something like one valve was damaged, etc? Perhaps because that might not require a plumber every time?

    Primer isn't used for 'cleaning'. It's used to melt the layer of coating on the PVC for the glue to adhere too..

    Steve, can you blow air through the RPZ? I thought the port had to be on the other side of the valve.

    • @stevenbertrand475
      @stevenbertrand475 5 років тому

      The one he is doing is actually a PVB. I am a service tech at an irrigation company here in MD. We always like to blow through the backflow preventer to purge it thoroughly. Although there are many people who disagree with it and say it can cause damage. I've never run into a problem like that to be honest with you. Hope this helps and good luck!

      @rocketrider1405 6 років тому +1

      Oh, right ... this is an underground sprinkler system ... so a break in the system and a drop in water pressure might allow contaminated water to enter the household H2O supply ... I got it now. Thanks, ES.

      If you don't wipe your joints. The flux over time will cause the copper to turn green.

    Is a backflow preventer always required for a home sprinkler system? I recently got a sprinkler system installed and the landscaper said a backflow preventer isn't required because the shutoff valve is too far from the solenoid valves.
