Pride Plumbing came out and rebuilt, tested, and recertified an Apollo RPL4FA reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow that had previously failed inspection. After shutting off the water, we removed and replaced the unit's cap, relief valve, check valve #1, check valve #2, and all rubber O-rings and gaskets. Once they were all replaced and lubricated, we reassembled the backflow, turned the water back on, and checked for leaks. We tested the RPZ assembly, and it passed inspection. Pride Plumbing filed the appropriate certification paperwork with Stanly County.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak underneath a kitchen sink. Our inspection found that the leak was coming from the slip-joint arm going to the second basin of the sink. It was too long and not seating correctly, so we cut a little off the end and reinstalled it. We then tested for leaks with no further issues. The customer also had a Kohler toilet tank that would run constantly and not fill. Our inspection found that the toilet tank's flapper was deteriorated and would not seal off the tank which caused it to run constantly. We replaced the toilet tank's flapper with a new Lavelle 3060BP red universal Korky model and tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues.

Pride Plumbing came out to replace a section of galvanized pipe inside a bathroom wall. We cut an access hole in the bathroom wall, cut the galvanized pipe out, ran new PEX pipe down to the CPVC pipe that the galvanized pipe had previously been connected to, and connected onto it using PEX fittings. We turned the water on and checked for leaks and there weren't any. We then tested the toilet, and it filled very slowly. So, we tested the toilet tank's braided stainless-steel water supply line in a small bucket, and it had ample pressure. We notified the customer that from all the work that had been done, debris had clogged the toilet tank's water fill valve, and it needed to be replaced. He stated that he would do it himself. Finally, we installed a plastic plumbing access panel to cover the hole we cut in the wall.

Then we installed the new water heater, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless-steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, and wired up the electrical connections to the new water heater (adding a Romex connector). Finally, we bled the air out of the water lines, ensured that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature.
