thanks for the video. so on the PVB since you are able to get a Ai opening and a check reading is the device still passing and what would you put on paperwork? thanks again
We dont hate on guys that give free lessons! thanks dude!
What a joke and now you have to be a licensed plumber all for the money grab
@@shawn7851 yes some states require you to have plumbing or some similar license to do maintenance on the systems .. not always a money grab scenario but a lot of times unions are involved and they want to funnel work and have good relationships with politicians
If you fail the test how long until you can retake the test??
Depends on which test, some have rules about it but usually there are no restrictions you can just sign up to re-take but it depends on which exam provider you’re using
👍🏻I have a question, I work with a guy that says he doesn’t shut the water off the device to test it. I’ve asked him to show me, but that hasn’t happened yet. I’m I in the right to say that you can’t test the device without turning off the flow?
So the way we have it set up with our programs, we utilize either the USC 10th Edition or the ASSE 5000 procedures from like those textbooks, depending on the area, both of those include shutting either one or both of the shutoff valves during the test. You have to confirm a no flow condition in order to properly test a check valve. Some people do classes or tests without doing this but they are using older procedures, generally before 2000 they didn’t confirm no flow but now they do, some states still do it that way like they’re okay with the older procedures, but to answer your question the USC and ASSE procedures which are updated regularly include shutting off the water during the test. The idea is that a leaking check valve would appear to be working fine if there is flow through the assembly since the leak would not be apparent if there is flow
@@thebackflowbro6864 Thanks for the info, now I can put the nail in the coffin on that👍🏻
So unnecessary, been testing for 25 years. Nothing essentially had changed with these devices. Having to memorize the rest is just ridiculous when you can just used the test book in the field. Why not make it open book? Even the plumbing license tests are open book. I see 2 things happening here, a money grab and weeding out people capable of testing backflows. Why they would do that is beyond me.
I’ve noticed if you just require the exams to be blind then everyone figures it out and most people pass, if you allow them to use the sheets they barely practice and then are lost in the exam but can get through it. ABPA and some of the others I have noticed make it extremely hard to pass and like not much you can do about it, once I saw someone fail in Colorado because he opened a test cock too fast I was like “ yeah this isn’t what they said it was “ but in California and Arizona they seem cool like they aren’t just failing you on purpose
These training schools for backflow preventer testing and repairs are scams These guys running these programs never, ever train for the amount of time they are supposed to and the training is a joke The vast majority of people who go through these training courses don’t have any understanding of backflow preventers and can’t even perform a test by memory I mean it is a freaking joke! How do these schools get away with running a course at far less than 32 hours when that is what it’s supposed to be?
I hope you’re not talking about our courses at Kruger’s Training Academy, but yeah we ask students for feedback on these exact issues after completion, hard to control some instructors are too lax with the hours or grading the exams, but yes some states allow 32 hour courses over 3 days with homework and different things but last few years have been making sure the classes last as long as they are supposed to. Some states allow a 16 hour condensed course and like you just study yourself. All about having a rigorous exam in my opinion
I can honestly say that I dont think I would have aced the hands on exam without you diagnostic videos.Thank you for that !
Dude went too fast and made a couple bad calls during procedure. Slow down
Having a leaking #2 shut off valve in the direction of flow. After you bypass water from TC1 to TC4 to compensate for the #2 shut off valve leak to obtain the relief valve opening point, can you then obtain the tightness of the #2 check valve?
Yeah the bypass tests the CV-2 against backpressure
What's the pay like
Using ac 1/4 hoseeeeee
Definitely would like the videos with the 5 valve gauge, and leaving out how to set up the fails would be helpful. It gets distracting when explaining what needle valves to turn. The video is appreciated.
Besides noting that the Shut off valve leaks, would you mark PASS or FAIL when having a shut-off valve leak after obtaining your Air Inlet & Check Valve readings?
Pass .. shutoff valve leaks are marked but for USC 10th the valve test passes as long as you can complete the test with the diagnostic steps
I had to go through instead. All these backfill pavement are testing. Why do you all make a big deal out of this? It's not that hard if you can read step step step. You're just trying to make money on people. Dude, you're not helping anybody. What if you wanna learn to do backflow preventor you goat in sign up for a classroom local area, you can listen to this video, but the best way to do it is on hands doing it physically. But this guy right here he's okay but who cares
Good to see more videos helping people with their ABPA certs/recerts. There are only 10 issues the proctor can create on all 4 assemblies combined, and 5 of them are on the DC. There are only 2 possible problems they will simulate on an RP. A leaking #2 check and a leaking #2 shutoff. The other 3 possible failures are covered in this video on the PVB. If you're a new cert, memorize your procedures and then practice identifying these 10 possible problems, and you're good to go. Remember, the proctor will only give a maximum of 1 problem per assembly. The SVB is a basic process without any problems being simulated as of March 2024. I think they might change this soon though.
NIIO?
Yes don’t forget those words ! Haha ..
Testing today, videos helped great with troubleshooting
Greatly !!! Took the certification at 241 QV ! Tim is great !
Great !
Great !!! Took a class with Tim !!!
Took the class with them!!! Great people !!!
Pvb
What is this doohickey before me
Watch the other videos
@@thebackflowbro6864 no
Excuse me Sir? Is that a ram pump?
Damn, that guy is Hot 🔥
I got certified 3 years ago and haven't touched a backflow since. Now I'm due for recertification test and I'm nervous I won't pass. I'm cramming videos trying to remember everything.
im 22 years old and Passed my backflow exam last October, quality license
Is it normal for the high bleed valve to drip during the test?
Maybe didn’t close it all the way 🤷🏻♂️
