Why is backflow prevention required for sprinkler systems?
What's the difference between RPZ and double check valves?
RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) valves provide the highest level of protection and are required for high-hazard applications. Double check assemblies offer moderate protection for lower-risk situations. We’ll assess your property to determine which type best meets your needs and local requirements.
