Nylon composite backflow preventers are transforming the plumbing industry. Unlike traditional brass assemblies, nylon composite units are lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and nearly worthless to thieves—making them ideal for both commercial and residential use.
Drew Cook has installed and serviced every type of backflow assembly over his 36-year career, and he’s seen firsthand how nylon composite units outperform brass in real-world conditions. These assemblies are easier to install, require less maintenance, and last longer.
They’re also safer for communities. By reducing theft and vandalism, these units help keep water systems protected year-round. As more cities and contractors embrace this technology, nylon composite is quickly becoming the new industry standard.
👉 Pro Tip: If you’re still using brass, consider upgrading to nylon composite before theft or corrosion forces your hand.
