Completed the replacement of a 1” rpz backflow preventer for a new customer. The existing rpz assembly had failed, so we removed and properly disposed of it before installing a new watts series lf009 1” reduced pressure zone (rpz) assembly on the horizontal supply line. We also installed the required shut-off valves on both the inlet and outlet sides and ensured all pipe fittings and hardware were securely installed for a clean, code-compliant setup. After installation, we performed backflow certification testing and submitted the test report to the local water authority to confirm compliance. The system is now fully functional, protecting the potable water supply, and the customer is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty along with the manufacturer’s standard coverage.
