I thought this would be much more complicated than it is, and one website selling parts even said I needed a special tool for disassembly. After watching this, I disassembled the two relief valves, flushed them out, flipped one of the seals around, and the leak has stopped. Thanks for the content.

Great video. Had Febco backflow for 10 years. Once I took it apart and found a big chunk of something in there....had no idea where it came from. This week I had the leaking from the vent, took the top chamber apart, inspected, flushed a little water and it was good to go. Have no idea why it was leaking, unless something came out undetected when I flushed it. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!

Thanks for the thorough video. Have the same model and found a small pebble impacting the gasket on the upper valve causing a leak. Easy fix thanks to your video. Nicely done.

Thank you so much!!! Just taking out the the upper and lower valves and cleaning out the holes took care of my problem. You saved me at least $100 from the sprinkler company sending their guy. Thanks again, you rock!!

Thanks. You saved me lot of money. There was a debris on the valve seat. Cleaned in few minutes. 🙏

We fixed problem a couple of times due to the debris, it is the #1 valve that had tiny rocks on the ruble seal, clean up and turn on the incoming water valve to flushing about 1 minute.

Thanks for the video. My problem similar, except randomly water will blow, not leak, out of the bottom and continue. After slightly unscrewing the top nut on the top back flow ( valves shut off ) , the spring will snap close. I can then re- tighten It. I have not been able to correctly diagnose how to make it happens. It randomly happens at turn off of sprinkler system. I am sure it has to do with pressure and will look at the area you showed. Great Video.

Crazy a diy’er has the best instructional video on the internet!! Maybe you can help me…. My issue is the inverse of yours. When I have the output valve open water literally pours out of that plastic thingy. I took mine apart but never pulled out the piece where your problem is. Hopefully that’s my issue as well.

@checkitout2468 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the compliment on the video. Try carefully taking it apart sort of cleaning it up and putting it back together. It doesn’t take much for these not to work correctly. Very small rocks or other debris can cause these to work in correctly. Let us know how it goes.

Great video, what's that lock hanging from the check valve? Its function?

Thanks for the video. My landscaper installed this valve about a month ago. It supplies a six zone system that waters every other day. This valve discharges to the ground about a gallon of water about once a week. Is that normal?

@Someonewitharealname 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing and this was literally my issue as well! The part is ridiculously expensive right now. It's nearly half of a new system. Are there alternatives sold?

@checkitout2468 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately there’s no good alternatives. If you look at the link I put in the description that price is not inflated. That’s the same it was when I did it. I know it’s crazy expensive.

Hey bro . Where can I find the numbers of the back flow. I thought all what I need is the number that is right on top of the back flow. I have one leaking back flow but I already try to order on Amazon but it seem like they don’t have that

@rand0mchannel100 3 жыл бұрын

The galvanized pipes can rust on the inside and be a source of debris also.

@DM7817 3 жыл бұрын

Same thought I had Ray there's a good chance you'll be cleaning that backflow preventer out frequently or until the galvanized pipe is replaced. Good video though

Hey bro . Where can I order a Wilkins 1”. 3074723 kit ? I tried to order on Amazon but it seems like they don’t have that or maybe there’s something that I’m missing? Like more numbers?
