What is the Exact Process for Backflow Preventer Installation with Cover Your Brass?

1.

Schedule Your Backflow Assessment

We schedule the backflow assessment at a time that fits your property access and local utility requirements to minimize disruption. During scheduling, we confirm property type, water service configuration, and the applicable authority having jurisdiction to ensure site-specific compliance. This step defines the scope, confirms any permitting needs, and prepares our backflow prevention installation team for an accurate on-site evaluation.

4.

Professional Backflow Device Installation

Our licensed backflow prevention technicians install the backflow preventer using approved fittings, proper pipe sizing, and code-compliant methods to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. All our installations comply with manufacturer specifications and local plumbing regulations, including required clearances and orientations. We also verify pressure conditions and structural stability to ensure reliable operation and readiness for formal testing and certification.

7.

Final Review & Ongoing Support

We complete the installation process with a final system review to confirm proper operation, accessibility, and the accuracy of documentation. Our backflow preventer installation technicians walk you through maintenance expectations, testing intervals, and compliance responsibilities so you understand ongoing requirements. We remain available for future testing, repairs, or regulatory updates tied to your installed backflow preventer. This final step ensures long-term compliance, system reliability, and continued support beyond installation.

2.

System Review & Device Selection

During the potable (drinking) water plumbing system review, we evaluate the water service line, connection points, pressure conditions, and potential cross-connection risks to determine the hazard level. Based on these findings, we identify the code-required backflow preventer type, such as a reduced-pressure assembly or double-check valve assembly, to ensure regulatory acceptance. We match the device to application use, flow demand, and authority requirements to support proper protection and long-term compliance.

5.

Testing, Certification & Compliance Documentation

After installation, our certified backflow prevention specialists perform formal backflow testing using calibrated equipment to verify the device meets required performance standards. We then document and review the results for compliance with local water authority regulations. After that, we prepare and submit all the necessary certifications on your behalf. This step confirms the device is approved for service and officially recognized by the governing authority.

3.

Installation Planning & Location Approval

We coordinate backflow protection installation planning by determining the exact placement of the backflow preventer based on clearance requirements, accessibility standards, and local authority guidelines. Our backflow prevention installation team verifies setback distances, elevation rules, and enclosure needs to ensure the device location meets inspection criteria. When required, we assist with location approval in advance to prevent failed inspections, relocation issues, and future service complications.

6.

Optional Protective Enclosure Installation

When required or requested, we install a protective enclosure to shield the backflow preventer from physical damage, weather exposure, and unauthorized access. We select the backflow preventer enclosure based on device size, required clearance, and local authority standards to ensure accessibility for testing and maintenance. Installation includes proper anchoring and ventilation where applicable to support safe operation. This step helps extend device lifespan while maintaining compliance with inspection and service requirements.

Hear What Our Real Customers Say

“Bill at Cover Your Brass, was amazing! He came to do backflow testing and, initially, it looked like we might need a costly repair. He double-checked and performed a "flush" of the system at no extra cost and saved us the expense of what would have been an uneeded repair. This business is trustworthy, and easy-to communicate with. I highly recommend!"
