You had me at "We're not going to do a lot of talking...". You'll be the place I start when looking for "Fix-it" videos.

This video saved me 450$ , some crooks were asking for 600$ for repairing this exact problem. thank you. Love your beautiful explanation.

Hey, thanks so much. I really appreciate your format, concise and to the point, without wasting anyone’s time.

Fantastic video! Straight to the point, extremely helpful, and humorous.

Thank you so much for your video. I was able to fix my Febco 765-1 in less then 10 minutes. Great reminder about relieving the pressure before fixing. As a teacher for 22 years you did an amazing job teaching me! 😁

Most plumbers don't test backflows and would've changed out the whole pvb. You did a good job! 👍👍

TY!!!! Great, Very Helpful video! I texted the sprinkler repair person I used last year but have not heard back from him. Then I thought I bet I can do it myself!!! With the help of your very informative video I am going to get the repair kit tomorrow. I took a picture of mine so I knew what I was needing to get and it all matches your information! YAY and TY again!

Sir , I like how you presenting your Clip . Appreciate the abundant information in a very short time . Thanks again .

Thanks, You saved my day! Your video is excellent, plain English, not plumber's jargon.

New subscriber! Great content. No bs and straight to the point.

Well explained. Loved the bonus footage that we all go through it sometimes.

Well done. Concise and to the point without a bunch of BS and trying to be cute. I like this guy!

This just saved me a couple hundred bucks and was super simple to follow. Thanks a million!

Right down to the point, no talkie talkie. Thanks! Gotta fix mine today.

Great video! To the point, "Don't waste your time by lots talking." When I saw other people 's blabla clips, turn off immediately. Fast Fix is great!

Just repaired a pair of brass anti siphons for some neighbors. Used left over parts (Orbit 53066 rebuild kit). Flat washers completely worn out. Plastic plungers needed replacing. Helps to bring old parts with you when finding replacements. Nice work! Good video!

Excellent information. This was excellent. The funny end was priceless. Thank you!

Thanks to you and this video I was able to repair the leak and didn't even have to buy anything. Just went and made sure all the parts were installed correctly which they were not. THANK YOU!

Great video and content. Very helpful and educational. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of money. Keep it up!!

Thank you for saving me $500 bucks.

Thank you for this video man, you helped me out a lot.

My wife noticed that there is a leak on the top cover of the valve and I had no idea how to fix that and then I have started researching on KZfaq and saw your video. It's pretty straight forward quick fix solution. 👍

Awesome very easy to understand and lifesaver, thank you great site!

All I did was cleaned the old washers and used new calk . Works great thanks!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Great instruction, looks like pretty easy to fix the leaking. I will do it. The leaking most likely is not to drain water out before winter comes.

Very nice and to the point. Thank you!

Thanks... like others have mentioned, I really appreciate your concise and to the point video, most of these wast your time with nonsense.

Thank you so much for this video!! I was able to fix my leak in less than 5 minutes. All I had to do was take it apart and clean off the flat plastic washer, but until I watched your video I had no idea how to even take it apart. You saved me $125 for a visit from my sprinkler guy!

Thanks so much for the concise video!! So rare these days.

Thanks for the video very helpful for my situation

Thank you for sharing your know-how! Just fixed mine. Mine was blocked by some dead wasps.

nice video straight to the point

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! We had a cold snap in Charleston, SC and I think mine froze over.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Had no idea what to do and our limited sprinkler fixers in our area are booked solid. Going to give it a good before heading back to the move it around sprinkler! Thanks again!

Awesome information. Thank you 👍👍

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! Saved me some $600 in parts and labor. I did have to buy an extra part beyond the ones in the kit you shared (my poppet assembly was a mess), but they are also way cheaper than a whole new valve, and the plumber to do the pipe work.

Thanks for the super helpful video!

Great video thank you

Awesome DIY video! Thax so much! The only problem is the Home Depot here doesn't carry the repair kit. Just the entire unit $97.00. So I just cleaned up and greased the one we had and it stopped the leak.

Amazing video

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Awesome job thank you so much

We experienced loss of water pressure in our house, with outside and out was leaking from the top. I stopped it from leaking by pulling up on the valve getting it to seal then turned back on the water. The house now has water but still low pressure. It’s a new build so it’ll be warranted.

Great video 👍👍

Thanks! I didn't even know what it was called or was for.

Great, no wasting time.

GREAT VIDEO!! My only question is, how do we relieve pressure from the system before we unscrew the cap?? Don't want it to explode in my face

Great video! Thanks. New subscriber.

NICE!!!!! Now I can just screw the air chuck in the preventer. If it makes it leak after a few years, 15 buck repair. They say dont pump air through the backflow but I am lol

Thanks

I gave the like just for the bonus vid. LOL

I can dig it.i can dig it.

Thank you for getting right to the video without 10 minutes of talking..

Very informative video. I actually need to replace all of the parts under the cap since they're bent up and in bad shape. The issue I'm having is water continues to fill up to the top of my cap and either it refuses to drain out lol, or I'm missing a step. I shut the water off to the sprinkler system. How'd you get yours to drain the water from overflowing from the cap man?

Thanks for your no extra chatter video, much appreciated and helpful. One question, mine is mounted outside a bedroom, and in some zones, sometimes it "chatters." More than just the sound of water, sort of a vibration. My irrigation guy fiddled with it but it never seems to go away. Wondering if I could add spring tension? Perhaps use some silicone lubricant internally? The system works fine it's just annoying when it's running it early in the morning. Thanks.

thank you! I'm a new home owner and my preventer is leaking slowly so I think it's better to fix it rather than replace it. can you talk about how do I relieve the water pressure from the system in another video?

I have a Febco 3/4 back flow preventer. I changed the bonnet and poppet but it is still not working. The check valve seems to be ok, it is brass so no broken legs. Any ideas?

Love the bonus in the end. But, how do I release all water pressure from inside? just turn off the valve?

Here for the bonus video

This is a great video, thank you so much! I have a follow-up question for you: At 1:04 your note says "make sure you've relieved all the water pressure in your system," but I'm not sure how to do that. I couldn't find any info online either so would love if you could share that as well. Thanks again!

How do you relieve the water pressure before taking it apart?

Do I have to relieve pressure before replacing just the plastic cap? Thanks!

Thanks for this informative video. What is the name of the repair kit?

Hi Fast Fix, my Febco 765 outlet ball valve was coated with calcium build-up and corrosion and it's so hard to turn it off and on, so I replaced it with just a regular ball valve from lowes. When I turn on the inlet ball valve slowly the PVB won't stop discharging water and did not seal while I waited for a minute and the ground already starts flooding and I start worrying already so I just turn it back off. It was just fine before I replaced the ball valve. My questions are 1) should I turn it to full right away so that it will build abrupt pressure to seal the check valve inside? 2) Is there a specific ball valve to use on the PVB and I was using the wrong one that causes it not to seal? 3) I positioned the ball valve facing up not the same as the original position which was on the side, should it be positioned the same as the original one on the side? Any help and tips, please. Thanks

Thanks for the instructions! Really helpful. However its not $15, the repair kit by itself is close to $40 and the bonnet is another $20 with shipping. The plastic Canopy is $17 before shipping.

Can I (should I) use plumbers tape around the bonnet before screwing it in mine is relatively new and after taking it apart everything seems to be in good condition, but I still have a low slow leak.

How do you relieve pressure before you open valve?

Check how the popit seats against the bonnet before you install. I had to replace mine because the rubber seal became deformed.

How do you loosen that thing under the cover when it’s so hard?

Hi, I replaced the same parts you did, but now my damn pressure relief valves are leaking, no matter which way I turn them. Any idea what they're called so I can order some replacements?

what is the air fitting on the side for? was this a sprinkler system ?

I really liked your video DYI. Why it is recommended that only a licensed plumber should install back flow preventer? I don’t see any complexity but wonder why? Anyways, thanks for putting together a short, informative and useful video.

Just two weeks ago I replaced the parts of my FEBCO. It didn't leak for two weeks until today. Are there any other reasons for a leak?

My copper bonnet is corroded and beyond a screwdriver to unscrew... is there a lubricant or chemical I can use to slip inbetweeen it and the threads to loosen it up?

Hand tight...proceeds to crank it as hard as possible...Lol! Very helpful video!

If you grease the threads of the bonnet before installation, future disassembly will be much easier.

I tried to remove bonnet using screwdriver. It's difficult to get off. Any suggestions?

Where is the link for parts? I thought I heard you say they would be in the comments.

Any tips? My bonnet is super tight, I tried with screwdriver but no luck. Update: just broke a screwdriver trying to take the bonnet out.

@1:15 min3 didn't come off easily rusted ; had to use a vehicle filter wrench to get it off

Good job man!

Hello. I just moved into a new home and noticed there is a leak when the valve lever is closed but when I open it, the leak stops.

Lmao nice ending

How do u relieve pressure

To relieve pressure. That's simply just turning on your sprinkler till no more water comes out?

I have a Scott Model X1649 is that repairable? Where can i get parts? Should it be outside or inside? I live in Michigan.

The part under my cover is stuck on the backflow I can't get it off do you have any suggestions?

U ANGEL I LOVE U

Ok yes you should put in video's to check you local utility if you can do this yourself ... Most states cities and or counties require a licence to do repair and or install of backflow preventers .. And the last part was proof of failer to state the pressure these have on them ... Also the reason why they give classes on this for them to be done by professional people .. You may want to watch those safety videos before you do one lol ..

Make sure you get it inspected according to local codes once it is repaired!

Why didn't you use the test release valve to remove pressure first, hehe

Nice if you had explained how to relieved the pressure.

You are the best 👌

00:01 - PLS what kind of hanging wall is behind you?

Why did you need a new bonnet?

You had to release the pressure before working on a pressure vacuum. You could severely injure your self
