I need to install a Double Check back flow preventer on my irrigation system. Can someone please educate me for the codes I need to follow?
Welcome
Did you install the irrigation ?
Was it existing?
Your city sometimes has info handouts.
Do you have a company service your system?
Any firefighters that do irrigation ?
More than likely you need a testable assembly, someone may require an annual test.
I want to say fairly easy to install one.
Follow the manufacturers specifications.No, I did not install the system. When we bought this home in 1995, it was already installed with a separate meter.
I service my own system. I can do plumbing work easily.
Yes, JEA in now requiring a testing style assembly. A Zurn Wilksins 950 XLT2 was recommended. I can get it from Amazon for $153. It's easy to install.
I just need to know the codes. ie...minimum or maximum distance from the meter or property line. How high from ground level. Vertical vs. horizontal installation.
