3/4" Brass Backflow Preventer Valve, with Vent Reviews

Works well, just make sure to not be a dummy like me and use pipe dope to seal the threads instead of teflon tape. The tape does NOT work well. the vent connector is 1/2"

Installation was easy with the union and it worked form the start without issues. Nice to have my 124 PSI water pressure reduced to 45 PSI.

This unit appears to be working very well. At first it seems to have a very slow drip leak, but that stopped. It was a little difficult to tighten for a rookie plumber, but it is doing the job nicely. I would buy it again and use Teflon Tape as I did in my installation.

I installed one many (7+) years ago as required for a community well system, which is a good thing. Recently water flow caused it to give off a whining sound. It still back-checked but I replaced it since I had originally brought two to have a spare. Am happy to see it still available and am buying another to keep a back up since check valves don't normally last this long in a hard water environment. The soft seat material was still pliable and valve appears in good functional condition. If a new spare was not available I would take the old valve further apart to clean it for re-installation. Good product I hope it stays around for a while.
