FAQ of Backflow Prevention

Q: What are the differences between backflow prevention devices?

A: For most installations, DEP specifies approved airgap RPZ backflow preventers on main incoming water services) Yet there are many cases in which check valves and vacuum breakers are practical and acceptable.

Q: Must backflow prevention devices be provided on all incoming water services?

A: Yes, with few exceptions. However, a professional engineer is needed to determine which is the correct application for each service, i. e. domestic, sprinkler, combination domestic/fire protection, etc. The installation of the wrong device can prove quite costly.

Q: What, if any, are the variances allotted existing buildings?

A: Because of the complexity of the thousands of existing structures in New York City, the DEP recognizes the need to review installation requirements on a building-by-building basis.
