Yes, a backflow preventer is typically required on irrigation systems to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the main water supply. It helps protect the public water system from potential health hazards.

Do I need an expansion tank for my water heater?

An expansion tank is recommended for water heaters to help regulate pressure and prevent damage to the system. It is especially important for closed-loop systems or when the water heater is connected to a backflow preventer.


Why do some hot water heaters need thermal expansion tanks and others do not?

I believe that the larger the hot water tank, the greater is the need for an expansion tank. Water expands as it is heated. This is why all hydronic heating systems require an expansion tank. A water heater would need expansion tank when a backflow preventer or check valve is installed in domestic cold water line directly after water meter. Some areas require backflow prevention, but not all. Have to check with local plumbing authority about that.


Why would 1998 harley Davidson electro-glide leak gas from the back hose that goes from tank to fuel injector system?

i had the same issue some time back on a 98 Road King Classic. Ended up being the back flow preventer between the fuel line and the tank. i fixed my by removing the fuel line on the left side of the tank. this is very easy. move the hose out of the way. now the fun part. the back flow preventer screws into the tank. it can be accessed after the fuel line has been removed as described above. the leak could be coming from the seal on the backflow preventer or it may just need to be tightened. there is a special tool that can be purchased from harley but i made a tool by taking wood chisel and grinding the edges down to fit the slot in the backflow preventer (bp). be very careful not to compromise the threads for the fuel line. i took the bp out, put a new seal and then used some thread sealer. tighten the bp up, reinstall the fuel line and hope for the best. hope this helps. greg

Very badly it seems. It often sticks and if you aren,t careful there is a tendency to turn the bottle and shake it with the obvous result. I,m at a loss to figure out why these devices are fitted. They are a kind of backflow preventer and need trashing.
