ASSE Approval!

Today, Backflow Direct celebrated a major achievement in the approval process for the Deringer backflow line. The Deringer 20 (DC) in sizes 2.5 - 4" in horizontal orientation is now officially ASSE approved!  We are excited to be able to offer this innovative backflow preventer to states accepting ASSE approval. Thank you to the folks at ASSE for the quick response to our applications. Stay tuned for more approval announcements coming soon!

Great News from FM!

Today we received the following message from Chris, our project engineer at FM: "I am happy to report that ALL your butterfly valve testing was completed successfully today." This is great news as the FM approval of the entire Deringer Product Line is dependent upon the FM approval of the SS705 butterfly valve line. FM approval of the Deringer line will happen as soon as mid-February!

We would like to welcome the newest member of the Backflow Direct Team, Brad. Brad Scott joins the Backflow Direct team as the DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING, responsible for maintaining a positive and efficient sales experience under our direct sales model, creating new and dynamic marketing strategies for the Deringer Line, providing technical and customer support, and contributing to the assembly of the Backflow Direct ASSOCIATE PROGRAM.
