Do we need to know anything about backflow devices for the state test or is it just a waste of brain cells?



Duct Tape can fix anything.

I don’t think you need to know specifics about the device itself but you do need to know where backflow prevention is required.

Do you guys list it as a defect if this device is not Installed on all homes or just ones that were built after a certain date?

Listed as “In need of repair” if it is missing on any house. Needs to be on commodes, hose bibs and sprinkler systems. And of course the anti-siphon loop on the DW.



Slainte!
