If I replace both checks 1 and 2, the top is screwed on tight, there are no leaks, and it was tested properly. Why would both checks still fail? I am completely lost.

I'm referring to a 2 inch 007. Both checks fail when I test it

i Just installed a 1inch watts LF009 backflow and it spits water from vent when the water pressure drops from 60psi to 20psi, then the booster pump kicks on and raises the presure back up to 60-70 with in a 1-2 second time frame. any ideas what could cause the quick spurt of water from vent in that small time frame?

@AmericanBackflowProducts 2 ай бұрын

Brian, sounds like you are seeing the effects of pressure fluctuations. When the backflow senses that quick drop in pressure the relief valve will open temporarily to discharge. Once the pressure stabilizes the relief valve will close. This is the way an RP is set up to work so your device is working great.

Dumb question can I use cooper anti seize on the valve steam for lubricantion on old valves ? I work at a oil refinery I’ve used it before and it helps on valves that are hard to spin

I test and repair hundreds of Backflow prevention devices annually, and I always use a smear of food-safe lubricant on all o rings upon reassembly of any device.

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

@AmericanBackflowProducts 7 ай бұрын

Joseph debris could cause your relief valve to leak or drip. Be sure to check the #1 and #2 check for debris as well. It is possible that the debris has damaged the parts which would mean you need to replace the parts. You can call us at 800 575-9618 for more technical help or to discuss replacement part needs. Thanks!

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

@dlchill 8 ай бұрын

The stronger spring will go in the #1 check valve which is the check that is upstream. The weaker spring goes in the #2 check (downstream) check.

@gregfiggy9 8 ай бұрын

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?

@jonathanduncan6426 8 ай бұрын

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.

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

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.

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?

@AmericanBackflowProducts 9 ай бұрын

Robie, sounds like the scale from the hard water is locking those check in place. You need to be careful with anything that you add into the water system. You will need to make sure that it is safe and acceptable to use in a potable water system.

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.

Thomasz, there are a few things that could cause that. It could be debris, sensing line issue or relief valve parts that need to be replaced. Please feel free to reach out to our tech team at 800 575-9618, we would be happy to help.
