"Backflow Prevention Assemblies. Putting a Lid on Contamination"

If not tested regularly, a backflow assembly malfunction could contaminate your local water supply, leaving you vulnerable to unnecessary liability. Cintas Fire performs routine testing to ensure you comply with all state and local codes.

General Requirements

  • Per NFPA 13.6.2.1, all backflow preventers installed in fire protection systems piping shall be tested annually by conducting a forward flow test of the system at the designed flow rate, including hose stream demand, where hydrants or inside hose stations are located downstream of the back flow preventer.
