5.0 out of 5 stars Effective and cheap, April 25, 2007

By	BH (Denver CO) - See all my reviews

This device works fine for my application (residential with plastic pipe), but it does need to be thoroughly bled for winter to avoid freeze damage. Easy to assemble and seal, and there doesn't seem to be much alternative at this price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Certified Backfow Assembly Tester, August 27, 2006

By	BAT (Federal Way, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This backflow preventer is not approved by authorities in Washington state, and probably no other. Being constructed of plastic, it is prone to freeze damage.

1.0 out of 5 stars consider comparably priced metal valves, December 4, 2007

By	Todd A. Stevens (Apple Valley, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this valve for a sprinkler system in Minnesota and forgot one winter to bleed the valve completely and it cracked.

After ordering the replacement, I was unable to easily install it (it's a long story but lets just say that plumbing is not my strong point).

After contacting a plumber to install the new valve, he politely suggested using an all-metal valve in lieu of this plastic one - which would meet code - and it costs the same buying direct from him as I paid for the toro valve.
