City approved. Works fine. Needed it to pass city inspection and city approved this valve after rejecting several other.

Nice piece
Sharon –
Works great
Chris –
This unit is well made and appears to work well. Solid metal piece of metal that should hold up.
I discovered that this is actually made in a town that I do not live that far from. Glad to support them.
Bonus it comes with a no marring wrench. Be sure to use the supplied washer. Not sure why- but thats what the instructions say.
REK –
Great performance at $1/8th the cost of a Moen replacement. Easy install.
example –
It fits fine and did not require me to use any plumbing tape. There are zero leaks. I do not see a difference after having this installed of how the water stops after turning it off. To be honest, everything seems to operate exactly the same as it did before so I have noticed nothing different in having it attached. I am not saying this is doing nothing though. I know these backflow preventers are required for outdoor hose spigots nationally, but was unaware of their use for showers. This is solid metal construction and simple to install.
