Backflow Installation in Salt Lake City

Professional Backflow Assembly Setup Throughout Salt Lake County

Installing a backflow prevention device is a necessary step when adding an irrigation system, connecting to secondary water sources, or making plumbing changes that pose a risk of cross-contamination. This device serves as a physical barrier, preventing water from irrigation lines or non-potable sources from flowing backward into your clean drinking water supply. Correct placement and setup are essential, as a device installed improperly will fail to protect your home and likely not meet municipal inspection standards.

Since 1979, A1 Sprinklers has installed backflow assemblies that meet local code requirements throughout Salt Lake County. We are familiar with the specific regulations in different municipalities and focus on creating setups that are clean, properly supported, and positioned for straightforward testing and maintenance. We get the installation right the first time, so your system remains compliant and your water supply stays protected.

Our team can help you get the correct backflow device for your property. Call (385) 381-8444 or contact us online for backflow installation in Salt Lake City.

    Proper Positioning for Irrigation Backflow Preventers

    Placing a backflow device involves more than just finding an open spot in the yard; it requires precise positioning to meet Salt Lake City safety codes and the laws of physics. 

    These assemblies must sit at a specific height relative to your irrigation lines to work correctly and require sufficient clearance so they can be easily reached for mandatory annual testing. Furthermore, because these devices include relief valves that discharge water, they must be situated where drainage is available and where the internal components are shielded from the damaging freeze-thaw cycles standard in the Salt Lake Valley.

    To keep the assembly from sagging as the ground settles over time, our team mounts each device on sturdy, stable supports. We also integrate drainage paths to prevent discharged water from pooling and position the unit for easy access during annual inspections. Following manufacturer specifications and regional codes for valves and test cocks allows us to provide a setup that stays functional and accessible throughout its lifespan.

    Integrating with Your Irrigation System

    Think of a backflow device as a vital team player, not a solo act. Because it serves as essential gear in your irrigation machine, installation requires a careful balance between pressure demands and flow capacity. Every device triggers a minor pressure "tax," so we factor that loss directly into our designs to keep your sprinklers strong and ready for anything. 

    Strategic placement is everything. We hunt for the "sweet spot" where the unit offers maximum protection without creating operational headaches. Whether we’re retrofitting an aging setup or engineering a brand-new landscape, our team confirms the assembly is perfectly sized and logically synced with your controllers and valves. We don’t just "add" backflow; we coordinate it as a core phase of your project for a seamless, high-performance result.
