Low Cost Backflow Protection

Backflow devices are typically located next to or behind the sidewalk and are at risk of being tampered with or vandalized. A broken shut-off valve, test cocks, and freezing or stolen valve could leave your property without water until a repair specialist can be dispatched. This type of emergency repair is costly and can be prevented with a low cost investment of an insulated backflow cover and/or enclosure.

Insulated Covers

Backflow device covers are made from a heavy-duty rubberized vinyl material and are fully insulated with R-13. All covers are water, mildew, fire, and UV resistant. They are machine double stitched and have a nickel-plated grommet for installation of a padlock. The standard color is Forest Green to blend with the landscape. Stocked sizes are ¾" -2" (up to 45") and available for immediate installation on your backflow device (within our service area) or shipping nationwide. Custom sizes and colors are available on a special order basis and ship within 7-14 days. Insulated covers are not protection against theft of your backflow device but will protect against freezing, tampering or vandalism.

Expanded Metal Enclosures

Backflow enclosures are the most secure way to protect your device from theft or vandalism. There are three types of metal enclosures which are available in a variety sizes of sizes, shapes, and colors. The standard enclosure is powder-coated forest green. All come with the necessary hardware for installation and are equipped with "lock guard system" which is vandal resistant.

The most common backflow device enclosure is made of 1 ½" x 1 ½" x 3/16" steel angle for the structure and 1 ½" #9 expanded metal for the sides and top. This product is also available in dual swing or clam sheet configurations for larger units or multiple backflow installations that are in close proximity to each other.

The rolled or tubular backflow enclosure is made of 1 ¼" diameter frame and ½" #13 mesh expanded metal for the sides and top.

The full aluminum enclosure is also available in a variety of sizes. These enclosures are used less frequently because of cost. They are available in dual swing and have a lead time of approximately 2-3 weeks.

Backflow protective enclosure installation is available within our service area or the unit can be shipped nationwide. The most complete protection for your backflow device is to combine the insulated cover with a protective enclosure. This will provide years of uncompromised security and protection.
