What’s included
The full scope, one contractor.
Annual testing
Assemblies tested on the schedule your water purveyor requires, usually every year.
Forward flow testing
NFPA 25 calls for an annual forward flow test to prove the assembly passes the water the system needs.
Repair & rebuild
Failed checks, worn seals and relief valves repaired or rebuilt, then retested.
Purveyor paperwork
Test reports submitted the way your water purveyor asks for them.
Standards & intervals
Who asks for what.
Your water purveyor and NFPA 25 each set requirements for the same assembly.
| Activity | Interval | Required by |
|---|---|---|
| Backflow assembly test | Annual (typical) | Water purveyor |
| Forward flow test | Annual | NFPA 25 |
| Repair and retest | After any failed test | Water purveyor |
Questions
Straight answers.
Who requires backflow testing?
Your local water purveyor sets the testing rules, and NFPA 25 adds a forward flow test for fire lines.
What if the assembly fails?
It is repaired or rebuilt, retested and the passing report is sent in.
