Backflow Preventer
DIG 3/4″ plastic backflow preventer is an attachment commonly placed into the faucet when used with drip irrigation to keep contaminated water from being siphoned backward into the household water supply lines.

A backflow preventer is highly recommended when installing a drip system.
