Backflow Preventer 3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT by Kevin Kessler Date Added: Tuesday 09 September, 2008
Backflow Preventer 3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT Without a doubt, this backflow preventer is the weakest link in my drip system. Small cracks appear within weeks, which cause my system to leak like crazy. I've changed this model out three or four times now, making adjustments along the way to alleviate excess pressure or strain, and nothing works. I'm now going to try the heavy duty model. Save yourself some money and aggravation and avoid this product...

3/4" "Y" Filter with Flush Valve, Green, 155 mesh stainless steel screen by Robert Solem Date Added: Monday 04 August, 2008
3/4" "Y" Filter with Flush Valve, Green, 155 mesh stainless steel screen I recently purchased 2 of these filters and had problems attaching pressure regulators (A043) leading to the threads becoming stripped. In attaching the pressure regulators, the hose washer in the regulators prevented sufficient threading, leading to the ends of the threads on the filter getting slightly stripped and a leaky connection. I then removed the hose washers from the pressure regulators and wrapped the filter threads in teflon tape (thinking that there would be more threading available to make a good connection) but this also developed a pinhole leak. Finally, I just used some GOOP and threaded the two parts together (I would have glued them together but they're different types of plastics and I don't think that there is a suitable glue for joining the two plastics). One joing has held but the other is leaking and I had to wrap it with old tire-tubing. In summary, then, it's difficult to impossible to make a water tight connection between this filter and the pressure regulator using either the hose washer or by using teflon tape. I consider this to be a flaw in the filter due to its softer threads susceptible to stripping...

Backflow Preventer 3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT by Robert Solem Date Added: Monday 04 August, 2008
Backflow Preventer 3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT I purchased 2 of these backflow preventers and both of them developed small cracks that rendered them unusable. They were only hand tightened and shouldn't have cracked. I think that it could have been the weight of the water filter assembly (F065) that may have contributed to this...

3/4" "Y" Style Filter with Hose Threads, Green, 155 mesh polyester screen by James Freudenburg Date Added: Tuesday 01 July, 2008
3/4" "Y" Style Filter with Hose Threads, Green, 155 mesh polyester screen Works well as far as the flitering goes, I guess, but the female fitting that screws onto the hose bib slipped off the filter, allowing water to gush on the ground. Nothing broke as far as I can tell, the threaded female part just slipped off the rest of the filter. These are cheap enough, no biggie, but I'm glad I caught it, as I drip irrigate at night!..
