My backflow preventer/pressure vacuum breaker cracked because I didn't get it to last fall before a early hard freeze. Stupid home owner mistake...
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out to take one of these off and replace it, and I have seen some posts saying it's pretty easy... but I am not sure where to start. Do I need to take a hack saw to this thing to get it off? I see threads everywhere... but tried to take a wrench to them with no luck.
Some of the threads have teflon tape on them, I would assume these should unscrew.
Please help!! See attached pictures of my setup.
