Check with the local AHJ. Where are you at?

If it's part of the potable water supply, in CO you would need a licensed plumber.

Codeman38 welcome to the Board. I looked at your profile and you did not specify where you are located which will determine what the answer would be.

In Texas a state licensed master plumber is required to secure permits for backflow preventers. A master plumber, journeyman plumber or apprentice may install backflow preventers but the master plumber is the responsible person.

A state licensed irrigator may also install backflow preventers.

Codeman38,

Welcome to the forum. You might want to include your State in your profile. It helps us answer any questions you have.

It depends on your State and/or local regulations; and, whether or not they enforce those requirements.

in some jurisdictions, you need a special certification to inspect them, too
