Course will cover advanced backflow prevention assembly testing procedures.
These will include:
- Test the DCVA with a sight tube
- Test the DCVA with a 1.0 psi tube.
- Test the DCVA with the differential pressure gauge and two hoses
- Test the RP with the differential pressure gauge and three hoses attached
- Test the RP with backpressure present
- Test the RP with the differential pressure gauge and only one hose
- Test the SVB with the differential pressure gauge
- Test the PVB with the differential pressure gauge and two hoses
Prerequisite: Student must be a current certified backflow tester holding one of these three certificates: ABPA, FCCC & HR @ USC, or UF/TREEO.
Special Note: If you take the Advanced Backflow Assembly Tester course during the same year you are due for re-certification, this qualifies as taking the re-certification exam for only $100, which is a $100 savings if you had planned to take the review option.
Course Objective
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:
- Evaluate the different methods of field testing the backflow prevention assemblies.
- Demonstrate the field test procedure for the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly using only one hose.
- Demonstrate the field test procedure for the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly using only three hoses.
- Demonstrate the field test procedure for the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly during backpressure conditions
