Out with the old, in with the new!

The type-II bypass assembly is a new technology to the backflow industry. As more manufacturers begin to utilize this technology it is only a matter of time before it’s widely used and is more commonly seen than the old type-I bypass assembly.

We created this video to provide a clear explanation on how the type-II bypass provides the EXACT same level of protection as a type-I bypass as well as some of the similarities and differences between the two. Backflow Direct utilizes the type-II bypass on our Deringer 30 (DCDA-II).
