Double Check Valve Testing in Cody, WY

A double check valve assembly, or DCVA, has two independent spring-loaded checks between two resilient-seated shutoffs and four test cocks. It is approved for low-hazard connections, so you see it on many fire lines, apartment services and some irrigation systems.

The tester bleeds and reads each check separately. Each one has to hold a differential of at least 1.0 psid. If a check reads lower, the cause is usually a worn rubber disc, a weak spring or debris across the seat.

Unlike an RPZ, a DCVA can be installed in a pit or vault in many jurisdictions, which brings its own problems. Flooded vaults make test cocks hard to reach and corrode the bolts. Testers often pump the vault before they can start.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with local testers in Cody, WY for double check valve testing, report filing with your purveyor and repair if a check fails. Good backflow prevention depends on both checks holding, not one. Call (833) 990-5874.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Double Check Valve Testing in Cody, WY.

Talk to a person
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
What does a failed backflow test mean?
A check valve or the relief valve did not hold its required pressure differential. The device needs repair or replacement, then a retest before a passing report can be filed.
Do I need an expansion tank after installing a backflow preventer?
Often, yes. The device makes your plumbing a closed system, so heated water cannot expand back to the main and the water heater relief valve may start dripping.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
How much does backflow testing cost in Cody, WY?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Cody, WY.
