What Are Backflow Cages?

If you’ve ever seen a green cage surrounding pipes, you’ve encountered a backflow cage. Sometimes called backflow enclosures, backflow enclosure boxes are designed to protect against theft, vandalism, and weather while still allowing access for repairs and maintenance. Backflow security cages are made from sturdy materials – typically aluminum or steel – to help them withstand the outdoor elements. Your typical backflow enclosure box can range in size from small to extra large.

Backflow Preventer Cage FAQs

Do I really need a backflow preventer cage?

Backflow preventer cages are not always required, however many local municipalities do require them to comply with codes and regulations. Additionally, having a backflow security cage can guard against weather damage as well as backflow device theft, a rising issue as thieves target pipes for scrap metal.

How do I install a backflow preventer cage?

Setting up a backflow preventer enclosure is fairly straightforward. Simply place the backflow cage over the backflow device and secure it with bolts or locks. Some backflow enclosure cages may require anchoring to the ground or attaching them to a nearby structure for security.

Does the Water Department need keys to my backflow cage?

While it is unnecessary to give the Water Department keys to your backflow cage, it is a good idea – and sometimes required, depending on where you live – to give your maintenance department a key to the lock on your backflow preventer cage. Then, in case of an emergency, they can access the backflow preventer and perform any required tasks, whether you are on the property or not.
