Sometimes there is an obvious external crack, or bulging, but other times the crack is internal. Unfortunately, it may not be discernable until the assembly is disassembled. The final indication of freeze damage is that replacing the parts doesn’t resolve the problem, because the body has been expanded or cracked.

You will need to know the model and the size of the assembly.  Brand is helpful.  Typically, there is a tag on the assembly that will give you the model, size, and serial number, however; another way to find the size is to look at the shutoff valves. The size is raised in the brass on the side of the valve.  If tags are missing, you may need to take pictures to email to us at sales@backflow-supply.com to help identify it.

From the home page of our website, click on “Maintenance Sheets” and you will be able to view the manufacturer maintenance sheets.  These will offer trouble shooting helps to determine what is wrong with the assembly. You may contact us at: sales@backflow-supply.com or 801-355-6736
