In my underground sprinkler system i have the copper pipe coming out of my house. At that point i am wondering if i can use either PVC or copper to install the vacuum pressure breaker for backflow prevention. Is one material better than the other?
How should i install a backflow prevention device to my sprinkler system?
It depends on the local code
In MD they charge over $500 to install a $30 device
My SIL does it.
Type of pipe, depends on whats existing
Reply:WHY??? Why would you need backflow prevention in a sprinkler???
Reply:Hey Steve, I'm currently The Youngest Back Flow Certified Person in the entire state of Maryland, at being only 16 years old, so I may be young, but I know a thing or two about Back Flow Devices. I love walking people threw simple plumbing tasks to save them money, but on a job like this, I recommend calling in a master plumber, that not only is certified(ask over the phone) but also advertises that they install/maintaince them, cause chances are, they'll have a larger knowledge base to help you out better. Any other questions, e-mail me!
