I have a client that wants me to change out her 825 w/ an RP without the giant flange....she has never winterized, just drained herself...and she is tired of doing the bolts each year....her flange is warped...and she has to tighten the bolts all the time. I mentioned that to her...also mentioned we could replace the flange only...and I could winterize "properly" each year....and she wouldn't have that problem....
The solution it seems, according to a supply house, is to install the new Watts 009....the backflow guy at my supplier seems to like it...any thoughts wet boots? Less chance of warpage you think? Easier winterizing?
