I love that American Backflow is the only company that doesn't say "if you need to, flip the gasket and reinstall as a temporary fix until a new gasket can be found"

Great video. Need help on why the relief valve would leak water. Found a rock in spring area. Cleaned the 860. Tia

The two main check valve springs are different gauges. Which goes where? No videos ever say.

I have one with a constant stream coming from the relief, I’ve replaced the parts and still have the same problem. Any idea what would cause this issue?

Thank you for the video. Very helpful to see. I used a Relief Valve repair kit. After I installed the diaphragm and cover, I opened the ball valve from the water main. Water started shooting out from the sides of the Relief Valve where the diaphragm is. I have replaced Relief Valves in the past and I have never seen this behavior. I thought perhaps I did not tighten the bolts enough, so I tightened the more, the spray lessened slightly. I ran one of the sprinkler stations to get water flowing through the backflow assembly, the spray did stop briefly, but when I stopped the water flow the spray continued. Have you see water shoot out from the Relief Valve cover plate before? I am not sure how to proceed.

2" watts 009 , replaced all the rubers and still dumps every time I turn the water On , why , any help will be appreciated.!? Thanks I'm advance

Now show us a video with 150 pounds of water on the valve while replacing the packings

Ah Watts/Ames, whoever the hell currently owns you: your engineers must have graduated at the depths of their classes. I sincerely hope they spend the rest of their careers flipping burgers or dumping fryer oil for producing such a horrible device. Truth be told, no backflow preventer is easy to service; however, this is arguably the worst. Whenever customers approach me as to the best device to install, I will continue to trash talk your products and berate your staff. G.F.Y.’s

Name of tool?

Backseating has never worked for me the past 10 years

Thank you. Saved me 300-1000 bucks finding this! I was going to just buy the whole backflow. The prices on these vary wildly.

it would be nice if the demo repair unit looks like the ones us guys work on after 25 years in service... plus you didn't say to check the relief plate for flatness... should have been a 6 screw design.

you damaged the relief valve stem removing that small o-ring... use a plastic pick.

💪🏼

I can't get the check valve assembly, or modules, to come out no matter how much I rock them, or how hard I pull. We have real hard water here. I was thinking that I could pour a muratic acid/water mix into the holes and let them sit for a few minutes like cleaning out my salt cell on my pool. Any other ideas?

My favorite part is when he sticks the #2 check out past the flange knowing that’s not possible. This valve design is a joke , send the engineer back to his failed career as an Uber automotive enginerd.

It’s doesn’t tell you how to know if it is the relief valve

How do I know which is shutoff number 1 or 2

Yeah, i worked with a plumber who had a specialized ticket for it. I was trying to explain it to others, and it's hard.

Great video

Perfectly done ✅

Hi the bottom seal is not reaching the relief valve seed on the bottom. Any advice? Water comes out from the bottom once I turn it on

The yellow plastic cap broke on my back flow valve. How do I get a replacement for it?

I like that one: good procedure.

Hello thanks for the video, would putting a check valve upstream or downstream of backflow be a good solution to line pressure fluctuations? Thanks

Why do you not tell how to rebuild 1st check? Fuck you and this backflow

Buy any other backflow then these ones. They fucking suck!!!

what size are the bolts?

Wow can we get A New Updated Video

Gow much is a rebuild kit lowest im seeing is 93$ up to 250. Crazy

What is that used for? Backflow and if so what system for backflow?

Is that a irrigation backflow?

Horrible instructions for 2nd check removal, this valve is a pos
