Install Cost

[tate16t]

Hey guys,

Had a plumber come out and give an estimate of $739.00 to install a check valve and hose bib assembly for a feed to my sprinkler system. Is this on the high end?

Nope

What about a back flow prevention valve? These are required when using domestic water. And, yes that's a reasonable charge.

I think it should be $738.00

I think it should be $38.00 but I got weird looks when I said that.

Thank you. I will add the back flow valve.

You do NOT need a check valve and a backflow valve. You need either a pressure vacuum breaker, or a reduced pressure backflow preventer. The more expensive reduced pressure valve COULD cost 740 installed, but not likely in the system you have.
