Works great
Would RecommendThis is easy to install and perfectly replaces the last one that broke. My only suggestion would be for the locking screw to not be a breakaway screw to allow for removal should it break. My last one tore up some of the threads on my spigot when trying to remove it.

Keeps the water where it should be
Would RecommendEasy to install and works as advertised. Ignore the one star review about the set screw breaking off as that is the intended installation. These things do go bad after a handful of years as the rubber o ring wears out, so replacing the breakaway screw with a 5mm set screw helps with eventual replacement.

Sprays water everywhere
Would Not RecommendWhen you turn off the water, if you do not leave the hose attachment open, this stupid little device sprays water everywhere. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

May get your shoes wet
Would Not RecommendReplaced a similar backflow preventer that was 24 years old. This new one sprays water in multiple directions when I shut the water off. The old one never did that. So I’m still in search of a better backflow preventer.
