Irrigation Backflow Installations
We offer installation for property owners as well as other irrigation contractors (note: per NC Law, we must be paid by the property owner, unless we are contracted by a NC General Contractor). We offer all types of packages, some basic backflow only to turn key installation. For the irrigation contractor, we offer 3 different packages to suit your needs.
So what do you get with us when you order a backflow installation package for an irrigation system?:
- A RPZ type backflow preventer
- Copper piping used above ground
- Quarter Turn Ball Valve at ground or below ground level for split tap installations to allow for Winterization on installations without a dedicated meter
- A Plumbing Permit with the county
- An inspection with the county
- ASSE-1060 Certified Backflow Cover
- County/City Backflow Preventer Test- performed at time of installation and submitted automatically for you.
- All Labor. Customer to provide minimum 18-20" deep ditch from point of connection to location where backflow is to be placed
- Option: Up to 100ft of PEX or SCH40 PVC Water Service Piping from the point of connection to the backflow

Pricing for the above options varies depending on package selected. The most common installation is a 3/4 RPZ installation with the customer providing the suitable water service piping and 20" deep trench (new NC Code requires Water Service to be 18" from top of the pipe).
We are different from our competition in the regard that we will install a shutoff to allow for Winterization on split tap services and we use ONLY TYPE L COPPER for all above ground piping, we do not use plastic like other companies do, there is no extra charge for this and we do not offer the option to use plastic piping above ground, we find that these type of devices encounter problems down the road and the savings are minimal.
Packages offered are- Note: due to constant price changes in the plumbing industry we are not able to list prices online.
- 3/4" or 1" Backflow Installation only with Cover
- No water service piping or trenching is included. Trenches are to be a minimum of 18-20 inches deep!

We also offer turn key replacement of devices of all sizes! To the right is a recently replaced Domestic backflow due to unrepairable freeze damage. To prevent the same situation from reoccurring, we installed a freeze protection valve, which will open with it gets to cold and cycle moving water through the device! |
