Testable backflow devices are valves and air gaps fitted to a water supply with a low to high risk of cross contamination.
Backflow devices are designed to keep our potable water supply safe and remove the risk of contamination. There is legislation around testing and maintaining a backflow device and this is the responsibility of the valve owner to maintain.
What Is A Form 9?
In Plumbing Queensland terms, a Form 9 is a certified test result form for a backflow device. This form is sent to the local authorities once a valve has been tested.
How Often Does A Registered, Testable Backflow Device Need To Be Tested?
Your registered backflow device will need to be tested every twelve months.
Your local authority will send you a notice in the mail to remind you to have the valve tested on its installation anniversary. There is also a registration fee from the local authority of about $200 per valve that needs to be paid annually to your Council.
Note that this fee excludes testing fees.
What Type Of Testible Devices Are There?
- RPVD — Reduced pressure zone device
- DCV — Double check valve
- PTVB — Pressure type vacuum breaker
- RBT — Registered break tank
- RAG — Registered air gap
- SCV — Single check valve
