The Wilkins 975 XL is a reduced pressure assembly designed to prevent backflow in your home or business.  It comes in ¼”-2” sizes and has been one of the industry standards in backflow prevention since 1993.  It has plastic replaceable check seats and silicone rubber check discs to provide the ultimate in protection against backflow.

But what is backflow?

Backflow is the reversal of contaminated water flow in your water system, and it happens most often when there is a drop in water pressure from the potable water supply to your home or business. When that water pressure drops, the water pressure will, in fact, reverse, sending contaminated water back towards the potable water supply.  Obviously this cannot be allowed to happen and thus the need for backflow preventers like the Wilkins 975 XL.

Backflow prevention devices come in many shapes and sizes and can be called the following:

• Air gaps
• Atmospheric vacuum breakers
• Check valves
• Chemigation valves
• Double check valves
• Double check valve assembly
• Pressure vacuum breaker assembly
• Reduced pressure principle valve
• Reduced pressure zone device
• Spill resistant pressure vacuum breakers assembly.

All fancy names for mechanisms that essentially do the same thing: protect the potable water supply from contaminations caused by the reduction or reversal of water pressure.

As you might suspect, backflow preventers  like the Wilkins 975 XL are required by state and federal law, and backflow preventers must be tested annually to insure that they are working properly.
