RPZ/PVB Backflow Preventers
Backflow preventers are devices installed in plumbing systems to prevent the reverse flow of contaminated water into clean water supplies. RPZ devices are typically used in high-hazard applications, providing maximum protection by utilizing two check valves and a relief valve. PVB devices are commonly used in irrigation systems to prevent back-siphonage. Selecting the appropriate backflow preventer is essential to ensure water safety and compliance with local regulations.
