Does the metal screw on the backflow regulator serve any purpose? Is there a way to unblock/unclog it without removing the whole assembly?

The only way I have been able to clean mine is to remove the whole assembly,and I don't worry about that screw

I believe that you are referring to the metal screw that holds the device to the hose bib. It just secures the backflow in place. As for cleaning, you will need to remove the entire thing to clean it well. It's easy to get off and you should have to do it often.

I have the same problem. The problem is a little Gasket inside the Flush Valve Assembly (THU322) which over time gets cut from the pressure against the plastic rim. I'm currently contacting Toto on this and crossing my fingers they have good customer service.

I was looking in to a regulator (lost mine) for my old one. I noticed they sell pressure relief valve it's like a nut and screw with the pin in the middle. If you lost the pin you need the that assembly take yours out first and measure, before you purchase.

Screw on. Just don't put the spigot under shear stress or it'll crack. Replacement parts are available, though, if you accidentally break something.

Instead of removing you can drain the backflow preventer. In my opinion, it was easier to remove than drain.

It appears that if you remove the end cap (don't know the the actual name of the piece), there are threads. As I recently had this faucet installed, I do not want to test the possibility. Maybe contacting Peerless would provide an exact answer. Hope this helps.

I have not experienced that problem with mine. I did not have to assemble the unit, so I am not sure what screw you are speaking off. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Handy, but not a plumber. No, this item is not a stand alone component. The power head only works with another part that is soldered into the outflow. It is only a cheap fix if you already have a zone valve. Zone valves are less expensive than circulators for each zone, but zone valve heads, or relays only last 4 or 5 years, so it is a trade off against initial installation. Short answer, the head alone won't do....John...CT

Yes, in fact I reconfigured it for my application. Just remove the screws, move the valve control to the right spot and then screw it down again.

I saw your answer on unclogging a tube inside, but how do you get the back and sides off? I removed screws and plastic caps, but can't remove the cover. By the way: one unit leaks, but I have another that has been working perfectly for 2 years.

Honestly, I am not sure. Possible cause could be build up of calcium, lime, etc. but that may have effected the regulator. It's a cheap fix so might be worth it to try. It's an easy switch.

I believe the two screws on the front of the unit are shutoff valves, try adjusting the RH one.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

Brian, I'll have to look when I get home later. There's a bolt that tightens into the stock tube to hold the stock portion on. I can't remember if there was more than one hole to screw into?

Its not a big deal to change this part, I replaced mine at the same time, as I was cleaning my filter for the winter, After I had removed the filter cover,(the whole top 1/2 of the filter)then you just remove the nut from the center of this part, I reason these parts break in the first place is because, who ever cleaned the filter the last time tightened this bolt to tight, but also if you run the filter to dirty, and do not back wash, the pump will put extra pressure you put on these plastic parts, i hope this helped.

I had the same problem. I thought the screw was too long. But my husband figured it out. If you look at the washer very closely you will see that it is slightly "domed". Make sure to put the rounded or domed side facing up, followed by the nut. That worked for me.

There are two screws, a short one which is the most commonly used and a longer one for use with the enclosed spacer. I did not have to use the spacer in any of my installations.
