Disappointing Pressure Valve for Pipes

This valve is a waste of money. The installation instructions are confusing and the valve is difficult to set up. The worst part is that it leaks frequently, which defeats the purpose of having a backflow preventer. On the bright side, this valve is made from durable materials. However, this is not enough to make up for its flaws. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable tools and home improvement components for their pipes.

Pros
  • Effective in preventing backflow of contaminated water
Cons
  • Requires professional installation and maintenance

Part Kit - Tubing, Fittings and Accessories

Assembly is shipped incomplete without the 2" valves that are part of the RPZ return flow. I returned the initialized order, incomplete even without valves, and placed a second order, which arrived the same way as me. Not sure why they sell incomplete RPZ returns.

Pros
  • Short run length reduces replacement labor
Cons
  • Repair

Item comes with missing parts

I bought this reflux as an item in a box. Too bad some expensive parts are actually missing. Looks like Amazon is selling them with missing parts. It's very expensive for me to pay to pay a plumber to come install and bill me just to tell me I have a part that can't be installed due to missing ends.

Pros
  • For indoor installation the unit must be supplied with an air gap adapter and built in control switch.
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
