Backflow Devices and Lead Free Law Ontario, CA

Ontario, California New Lead free was enacted January 1, 2010, the law states that all fixtures and fittings used for potable water in plumbing must be Lead Free. Well the intent of the law is admirable, but it really isn't going to benefit consumers much at all. What it will do is raise the cost of brass plumbing items greatly, and backflow devices are also effected. Manufacturers are trying to playing catch up with the new requirements. As a result there are no backflow devices over 2 1/2" that are approved by USC the backflow governing body, so this creates a big problem for a customer that needs to replace a larger device. We recently have run into this problem near Ontario International Airport, LSG Sky Chefs the food service for most airlines recently needed to replace an existing 3" device. We determined the device was to risky to try and repair, and advised our customer to replace the device. The problem is.....with what? nothing over 2" is approved.....we decided to remove the 3" device and then install two 2" devices, this would allow for similar flow capabilities and also ensure that they always had water. After the manifold was built we mounted the devices and tested for proper operation, and then submitted the required paperwork. If you need backflow testing or repairs, we provide affordable solutions.
