Backflow Preventer Repair Classes
The objective of these courses is to provide students with knowledge of repairing small diameter (½” – 2”) or large diameter (2 ½”-10”)backflow preventers. The courses consist of classroom discussions and hands on portions. The classroom portions will inform students of specialized tools, troubleshooting techniques, and general repair procedures for backflow preventers.
The hands on portions will consist of backflow preventers in different stages of failure. The students will identify the failing component, disassemble the backflow preventer, repair, re-assemble, and then re-test it.
Students must possess licenses or certifications necessary to repair backflow preventers required by their jurisdiction having authority. Accrued CEU’s that are to be applied to recertification must be used before the student’s backflow certification expiration date. Earned CEU’s may be applied only once per certification period.
