Double Check Valve Testing in Weiser, ID

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 Weiser, ID 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 Weiser, ID.

Talk to a person
Who is allowed to test my backflow device?
A tester who holds a backflow tester certification recognized by your state or your water utility. Many utilities keep an approved tester list and reject reports signed by anyone not on it.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
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.
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.
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.
