Wilkins 1-975XL 1" 975XL Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventer

After 18 years of service, my old Zurn Wilkins backflow cracked in the cold that killed all shrubs as well. So I bought the exact replacement and my sprinkler guy installed it for me. Now, no leaks and my system works fine. Our Metro Water Service checks backflow every year in the spring. So, we have to get the backflow unit fixed or replaced if it fails their inspection. My old one was needing repairs last 3 years. Hopefully, I won't have to do it for many years. My sprinkler guy said he will remove it during winter so that I can keep it in garage all winter and then in spring he will put it back. This will improve the device's longevity.

Easy to isntall. It passed state inspection. No leaks noted. Will buy again if needed.

My water company says that it’s a county rule to have one if you have a well. I haven’t installed it yet but it looks to be well made.

I was replacing a 975XL with a 975XL and I found the new valve was about 5mm LONGER than the original. The longer length caused a mismatch at the union. The unions are bottomed out in the valve so there is no adjustment there. Other than that, the valve works well, replacing a worn out valve that couldn't be repaired with a rebuild kit.

No good stoped working right away

Great price arrived quickly

The Wilkins 1" 975XL Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer is an excellent and less expensive choice to remain compliant with local codes. The valve assembly is solidly constructed, and durable. I bought the 975XL as a replacement when the original 10 year old 975XL valve was damaged through an accident. I like the Wilkins setup, as it took a few minutes to install and test. Determining the pressure differential is easy with the built-in test cocks. If you decide to install this valve indoors, ensure that you have a proper discharge pipe to handle any water that may flow out of the differential relief valve. Don't mistake this valve for the cheaper double check valve systems. This valve is rated for use when the discharge water is considered contaminated or toxic, such as with irrigation systems.
