Is it also a backflow preventer?

It has a check valve so that when the hose is disconnected, any water pressure in the inside line will not be released through the valve. This allows me to tee the external water source with the onboard pressure pump water line to the sink faucet in my camper. The fitting does not qualify as a backflow preventer for the water supply line since it is not equipped with an anti-siphon valve like those which should be either inherently built in to the hose bib or added on as an accessory before attaching the hose to the water source. Hope this helps.

There is a check valve though just a ball with a spring holding pressure on it dont know how much pressure it would take but I don't have any pressure in my system when unhooking just the pressure in the feed hose

No I do not believe so I used one remodeling an old pop up camper and purchased a water regulator to go between the water hose and the flange, haven't had any problems and the way I have mine plumbed it drains with gravity. Hope this helps

Yes. Although you can also use the diverted to throttle back the water flow from the main shower head.

Yes to both of these questions, but it significantly reduced my water pressure. I used it once and would not recommend.

I have used it few times, The only time my back was wet, was when i forgot to wipe it down after filling it up. I had let it overflow

Yes. It works well. I will say this, if the pump stops for any reason, backups can occur through and drain or toilet.

Hi Nicole, all of our breast pumps automatically come with backflow protectors.

Yes, it's probably the cheapest and best alternative solution to finding out if your problem is minor or major. If your ML still leaks after properly using the Lucas stop leak you may want to have a mechanic look at it.

If it is leaking from under the cap, yes, If it is backing up from the area you are spraying, no.

No. The Orbit doesn't come with a backflow valve. You would have to install one at the faucet before the hose is connected. The door over the programmer seems to work very well. All of my Orbits are still working.

I don't use one. I just attach the hoses to the unit and set the timers. Have not had a back flow issue. Hope this helps you.

From my perspective, it doesn't restrict the flow at all. In fact, I am VERY glad that I opted for this diverter rather than the "3-way" that was suggested by the plumbing supply house.

The hoses that I received do not have anti backflow (low loss) fittings within them. Recommend you buy "Yellow Jacket 93842 45 Compact Ball Valve 1/4" (3 pak)" or "Yellow Jacket 41301Chrome Hi-Side Auto R-134a A/C Coupler".

according to the box it's to prevent back flow. It will run just fine without it.

Our did this during a heavy rain and it was "air lock" (look in manual). If you have a backflow check valve, look at your install and make sure that the installer drilled a small 3/16 air hole in the exit pipe 2 inches along (but below water level). Also, syndrome may go away on its own.

No. There is often a flow restrictor that can be removed to give more pressure if your water pressure is low.

Yes, the only problem I encountered was that, depending on your filtration system it may make the back end a very snug fit.

It does NOT restrict the flow, unless you turn the dial to restrict it yourself. This valve can be adjusted to full on, or off and anything in between.
