Annual RPZ Testing

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) valves are required to protect the potable water supply of your building and the city municipal water system. They’re crucial to the integrity of your building’s plumbing system and the safety of its occupants. That’s why it’s important to make sure you are in compliance with all local and state RPZ regulations and code requirements. Please consider:

• The State of Minnesota requires annual testing for each Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) valve at your facility – any failing valve must be rebuilt.
• Testing must be performed by a licensed plumber with Backflow Testing Certification.
• If a rebuilt RPZ valve fails the testing procedure, it must be replaced.
• RPZ valves must be replaced every five years, regardless of test results.
