Installation of RPZ Valves
Before installing an RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) valve, it is essential to obtain approval from your local water undertaker. Our team facilitates this process efficiently to avoid disruptions, such as temporary water supply disconnection. We strictly adhere to guidelines and deadlines set by the water undertaker, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
Considerations for Installation
RPZ valves are generally suitable for most locations, with exceptions including areas prone to flooding, near electrical equipment, or at risk of mechanical damage. Proper measures must be taken to prevent freezing in exposed locations and ensure accessible maintenance. Detailed clearance requirements can be found in the Water Undertakers’ Approved Installer guidelines.
More information on clearances can be found in the Water Undertakers’ Approved Installation Method (AIM) cited below.
RPZ Valve testing
Annual RPZ valve testing is mandatory to verify proper operation and ensure backflow prevention of fluid category 4 substances. Our certified RPZ testers conduct thorough testing and promptly report any failures to the local water undertaker within 24 hours. Compliance testing is conducted with precision to meet regulatory standards.
