    Why didn't you just turn the ball valves on the vacuum breaker a half turn so it would be a right handed vacuum breaker. I replaced about a 100 vacuum breakers a year for 40 years.

    You're looking great Steve, and as always great job. I agree, whoever winterized that system should pay for the repairs/

      not many irrigation companies are knowledgeable with blowing out a system with a double check valve OUTSIDE the house...so it freezes...such unfortunate stuff.....charge a fortune to go **** and do ****y work.

    I don't know why but i think plumbing is super cool. Theres just something about all those pipes and pumps n stuff that makes it so cool.

    I guess the sprinkler company didn't use compressed air or bother to drain water in standing spots. Next level repair job on your end Steve. Maybe next year the homeowner will have you do the winterize job too!

    Great job Steve..really like your videos. By the way, my sprinkler guy quoted me $600 to replace this valve using PVC. I just did it myself for $130. Not begrudging anyone trying to make a dollar, but $600? It took me less than an hour. Curious if that price is on par or not.

  • @joedugas9462
    @joedugas9462 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    ball valves should be left half open during the winter. they will split even if winterized .

    if a pressure reducer valve neds to be put in for sprinkler system only, what would come first, back flow preventer or pressure reducer valve?

    Hey Steve: I'm down South, and for applications like this, we use plastic. Why is copper used up North for stuff like this?

    Rotate ball valves on the back flow preventer not sprinkler valve

    bet there are some split underground lines if they didn't winterize properly.

  • @williamwyrick3506
    @williamwyrick3506 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    They would be better off leaving the ball valve halfway open that way the water would not trap behind the ball.

    • @paulschmidt7473
      @paulschmidt7473 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would have been better if they would have put the backflow preventer on the warm side of the wall. So that it wouldn't be exposed to the cold. You then simply turn it off, connect up the blowout, and blow it out, done deal...

      double check as in a 007 watts would be fine on yard sprinkler.

      @@vdubskiee5356 Not a plumber, but I do live in a place where we get temperatures below freezing for as long as 6 months a year, and a backflow preventer that is outside like that would not survive a Canadian winter.

    Im glad that type of backflow is illegal here.

    • @williamwyrick3506
      @williamwyrick3506 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      double check and reduced pressure backflows are the only types allowed by law in our state
