Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly Service in Akron, OH

RPZ assemblies protect against high-hazard cross-connections at restaurants, medical offices, car washes and buildings with chemical feed systems. They have two check valves and a relief port that discharges water if a check fails. We install, test and rebuild RPZ units from Watts, Febco, Wilkins and Apollo. Proper drainage is planned for the relief port discharge.

Freeze and Heat Protection for Backflow Preventers in Akron, OH

Above-ground backflow assemblies are exposed to summer sun and winter cold. During deep cold snaps, homeowners around Akron can let faucets drip and open sink cabinets to keep warm air on the pipes. Freezing can crack bodies and bonnets, while UV exposure breaks down plastic parts. We install insulated pouches, heated enclosures or lockable cages as needed. Protecting the assembly helps it pass testing and last for years.

Fire Line Backflow Testing in Akron

Fire sprinkler systems typically use double check or double check detector assemblies to keep stagnant water out of the public supply. These assemblies need regular testing, often coordinated with fire system inspections. We test and repair fire line assemblies and document the results. We can coordinate scheduling with your fire protection contractor.

Common failures include worn check valve rubbers, debris stuck under seats and relief valves that drip constantly. We isolate the assembly, disassemble it and replace the worn parts with the manufacturer rebuild kit. Then we retest to confirm it passes. Rebuilding usually costs far less than replacing the entire assembly.
