    SOURCE: when draining water out of the sink, it backflows

    Actually no they do not have a back flow preventer, make sure the dishwasher drain connection is installed on top of the "P" trap, if it is then you are having drain problems , remove and clean the "P" trap if it not clodded then you need your pipes cleaned out if it is backing up in dishwasher.. Do it sooner than later or may become totally stopped up..

    SOURCE: Dishwasher wont drain

    Hi,

    There is a check valve that would prevent you from blowing back into the machine. I would recommend taking that hose and putting it into a bucket, turn the machine on and see if it drains, if so you have an issue with the house drain if not then take the hose off the machine. You can take the toe panel off with a couple of screws and the drain hose should be right up front. Have lots of towels ready to catch anything.

    SOURCE: some water from when the 20 yr old garbage

    Your drain hose should be secured up inside the cabinet at a level higher than the base of the sink to prevent water from going from the disposer back into the dishwasher. There is a anti back-up valve in most dishwashers, but they are not totally effective against water from the sink coming back into the machine.
    Get yourself some bread ties and get that hose up as high as you can under the sink so that it comes out of the disposer, goes up, and then back down to the dishwasher. This will also prevent crud from getting accumulated at the end of the drain hose where it connects.
    Good luck!

    SOURCE: do new dishwahers have a

    If the installation instructions have the "high-loop" drain hose option... they do, in fact, have a back flow valve.

    If that high-loop is not documented... Please spend the $10 or $20 bucks to keep it legal.

    Manufacturers cannot suggest the high loop without a back flow valve on the supply side... as a failure to use a sink mounted "AIR-GAP" ... would then carry the high risk of mixing sewage water with your <community> drinking water supply...Yuk!

    Even so... it would still be possible to have fresh sewage in the dishwasher.

    Be prepared to show the Factory installation documents...to your friendly building inspector...

    Who is only there in the interest of you... and your water community's water purity...and very well aware of the dangers of disease... poisoning etc.

    Turning a blind eye to your neighbor can very well contaminate your water as well...

    Think about it!

    Be safe/smart... It is your health as well.

    Hoses are connected correctly. Only hot water. Turned hot water valve off and hot water still ran instead of cold. HELP

    Backflow from convection and from expansion of water in the hot water tank is pushing heated hot water backwards, into the cold water supply line, wasting that heat. Install a backflow preventer. A quick test for that issue is to partially throttle the water entering the heater, but do not reduce it to a trickle, let the tank overheat and be damaged! If water in the outside tap is now noticeably cooler, backflow is at least one culprit. Reopen the heater valve after testing!~

    Am installing a Moen hand held shower ("Propel"). The instructions say I should install a backflow preventer. Where does that get installed? Inside the wall, or on the shower fixture itself?

    Just buy a backflow preventer and install it in-between the pipe coming out of the wall and the shower head. Most (all?) shower heads have 1/2? standard pipe thread. Home Depot sells a backflow preventer with 1/2? standard pipe thread for $6.97.
    Good luck and hope this helps.

    How do you install replacement Watts Watts Nf8 backflow preventer

    It screws onto the hose bib before the hose is connected. Its ez ...unless there was one on before. If that is the case you will need to remove the set screw on the old one (drill it out). unscrew it and attach the new one, tighten the set screw until it breaks off and you are done!

    My answers are short and sweet. Common sense mostly. If you are trying to get something for nothing...Don't waste my time! Remember if something sounds to good to be true that it usually is. I've spent many years of my life trying to cheat the system and was pretty good at it. This all changed when I discovered that people were doing the same thing to me. What comes around, goes around. Karma! Now I assist people in making win-win deals...that are legit!

    Vent pipe connection to Watts 9D-M3 BackFlow Preventer

    Every Watts 9-D I have installed had a 1/2" female thread as the vent opening. I think yours is defective. If you have already installed your 9-D, just take it apart at the unions and return the body for a refund. If they complain that the union nuts are missing, have them take the nuts off of the replacement. Good luck!

    Watts backflow prevention device 009M2 relief valve spraying continuously

    As a Backflow Tester, I have to recommend calling a certified Tester with experience in repairs. There are a few thing that could cause this such as debris stuck on the #1 Check disc (which usually means repair parts) or a nick on the Relief Valve seat. The rv seat is stainless steel and just pops in the bottom of the valve with an o-ring seal but unless you have experience at this I suggest you leave it to a professional as you could easily damage other parts or reassemble improperly.
