Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the maximum operating temperature of Watts TK-9A backflow preventer test kit?

A. This backflow preventer test kit can be operated at a maximum temperature of 210 degrees F.

Q. What is the difference between a backflow preventer and a check valve?

A. Check valves prevent backflow into sewage lift stations, ejector systems, wastewater lines & sump disposal lines, whereas backflow preventers stop water from flowing backwards into a water supply pipe, protecting potable water from pollution.
