Freeze and Heat Protection for Backflow Preventers in Frederick, MD

Above-ground backflow assemblies are exposed to summer sun and winter cold. Pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces and garages are the most common trouble spots when a deep cold snap settles in. Freezing can crack bodies and bonnets, while UV exposure breaks down plastic parts. We install insulated pouches, heated enclosures or lockable cages as needed. Protecting the assembly helps it pass testing and last for years.
