Backflow Device Rebuild Kits in Saint Louis, MO

Every major backflow brand sells rebuild kits. A full kit for a 3/4 inch RPZ usually includes the check discs, O-rings, the relief valve diaphragm and seat seals. Spring kits are often sold separately.

A rebuild makes sense when the body is sound but the rubber has aged. Rubber in a device that sits in direct sun or chlorinated water hardens and stops sealing. A rebuild brings the device back to near-new performance for a fraction of a replacement.

The technician shuts the device down, pulls the covers, removes each check module, cleans the seats and fits the new parts. Seats that are pitted or scored may need replacing too, and some brands sell replaceable seats.

After the rebuild the device must pass a full test before it goes back on the utility's records.

Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects Saint Louis, MO property owners with technicians who stock rebuild kits for Watts, Zurn Wilkins, Febco and Apollo devices and handle the follow-up backflow testing. Call (833) 990-5874 for backflow prevention repairs.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Backflow Device Rebuild Kits in Saint Louis, MO.

Talk to a person
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
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.
How much does backflow testing cost in Saint Louis, MO?
Pricing depends on device type, size and the local market. Call (833) 990-5874 for current pricing on backflow testing in Saint Louis, MO.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired instead of replaced?
Often it can. Rebuild kits with new discs, springs and seals are sold for most brands. Replacement makes more sense when the body is cracked or parts are no longer made.
