Product Q&A
13 QuestionsQ: Can I replace Wilkins 975xlv unit with a less expensive model ..Like the 975xlv.both are 3/4 inch.175 psi. I would need the fittings to accomplish this. Thanks Richard
Asked by Richard 10 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThe main difference between the 975XL and the 975XLV is that the 2nd unit the V means that the unit comes with union swivel elbows. The standard model does not, and the parts are not offered separately.

Asked by dennis 11 years ago

Q: 2" RPZ need the MEA# NYC BLD CODE TO FILE THE JOB
Asked by MASTER PLUMBER 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNYC no longer requires MEA as of 2008 although all products with MEA numbers are grandfathered in. They now require all backflow devices to be Approved by the Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California or FCCCHR. Please review the Wilkins Submittal sheet that included the FCCHR approval. Submit this and there will be no problem.
Q: Does this include the y-strainer and air-gap as part of the assembly? (Local suppliers have told me it does.)

Q: 1 inch Wilkens can it be installed in the vertical position
Asked by Johnny 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupplyStaffThe Model 975XL must be installed in a horizontal position to provide proper operation of the relief valve.
No the 975XL can't be installed vertical. There are only a few RP devices that can be installed vertical. Final color email logo Bugg Vokel Sierra Backflow PO Box 11181 Truckee, CA 96162
Q: I'm in California. Does this comply with the new lead free rule?
Asked by Mike 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis model is not lead-free. Use 975XL2 models for lead-free installations.
Not sure if this has to do with the content of lead, but this product states on it that it is not for use in California.
Q: I have a small drip/discharge from the "vent" area at the bottom of my backflow valve. How does one flush the valve out?
Asked by 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPlease see the following Installation/Maintenance sheet for instructions on cleaning the valve: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1272485263360/29536_PROD_FILE.pdf . You can also refer to the troubleshooting steps at the link below to help pin-point where the issue is inside the valve before you start repairing it. http://www.zurn.com/operations/wilkins/pages/submenu/Troubleshooting/tsrpp.asp
I had same problem. There are 2 big check valves and they can be removed and cleaned. When they are out, turn on the water and let it run for a few seconds to flush the system. Caution, they are held in by big springs under compression. The valve gaskets can also be removed and turned over to have a new surface for sealing. I had to do this on a new unit. There is also a repair kit available with new seals, etc...
