Backflow Preventer Installation in Salt Lake City, UT

A backflow preventer installation starts with one question: what is the hazard? Your water purveyor or local code decides whether you need an RPZ, a double check, a PVB or a spill-resistant vacuum breaker.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with plumbers in Salt Lake City, UT who size the device to the line, set it at the right height and leave clearance for testing. An RPZ needs space under the relief port and a drain that can take a full discharge. A PVB needs 12 inches of rise above the highest outlet. A DCVA needs test cocks you can reach with a gauge.

Most utilities want the device tested within days of installation, and some will not close a permit until that first report is filed. Plan for it.

Permits, unions on both sides and a strainer upstream on dirty water systems are worth asking about. A strainer is cheap compared to rebuilding checks every year.

Call (833) 990-5874 to get a backflow preventer installed correctly in Salt Lake City, UT, with backflow testing done right after.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Preventer Installation in Salt Lake City, UT.

Talk to a person
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.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
Does my lawn sprinkler system in Salt Lake City, UT 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.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
