What is an RPZ test?

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) testing is a critical aspect of maintaining the integrity of backflow prevention devices, ensuring the safety of potable water supplies. From its significance to the process involved, understanding RPZ valve testing is essential for property owners, facility managers and plumbers alike.

What happens during a backflow test?

RPZ backflow preventers consist of two independent check valves. They work like a double-check backflow preventer, but they also have an intermediate relief valve that opens to atmosphere if both check valves should fail.

Where is an RPZ required?

The plumber will close the downstream valve and wait a few minutes before checking for changes in the direction of movement of the pressure gauge as well as simultaneously check for water leaks and other obvious signs by closing different valves.

What are the parameters of the RPZ test?

The RPZ testing parameters (t5TT21) are: t5 first check valve holds tight when no RPZ relief valve port discharge at minimum differential pressure of 5 PSID T second check valve holds Tight when no RPZ relief valve port discharge and differential pressure gauge steady against backpressure T downstream shut-off

What does RPZ stand for?

You need an RPZ device if you have any of the following in your home: A large boiler (more than 200,000 BTUh). Large boilers can present a hazard when the pressure inside gets too high and pushes dirty water inside back up into the clear water system. An irrigation system, including a lawn sprinkler system.
