Rain Bird HT075BFFSX Backflow Preventer 3/4 in Hose Thread

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD HT075BFFSX is a 3/4-inch hose thread backflow preventer designed to protect potable water supplies from contamination in drip and low-volume irrigation systems. It features an integrated 150 mesh inline filter that traps debris before it reaches downstream emitters, drip lines, or micro-spray heads, keeping the system running at rated flow. Rated at 20 GPM, the HT075BFFSX handles typical residential and light commercial irrigation demand. The plastic body keeps weight low at 0.082 pounds and resists corrosion in outdoor wet environments. Irrigation technicians and landscape professionals install this as a standard hose-end or zone-entry fitting.

This backflow preventer is suited for hose-thread connections at zone inlets, hose bibs, or quick-coupler assemblies serving drip irrigation, bubblers, and micro-spray circuits. The 3/4-inch female hose thread inlet and 3/4-inch male hose thread outlet allow straightforward inline installation without adapters in standard hose-thread configurations. It is sold individually and ships in box packaging, making it practical for single-zone retrofits or multi-unit service calls.

Key Features

• Integrated 150 mesh filter removes debris to protect emitters and drip lines downstream
• 20 GPM flow rate supports residential and light commercial irrigation zones
• 3/4-inch female hose thread inlet and 3/4-inch male hose thread outlet for tool-free inline installation
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and keeps assembly weight minimal
• Compact single-unit packaging suits retrofit and service call applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4-inch hose thread irrigation assemblies using drip, bubbler, or micro-spray emitter circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation technicians or qualified landscape professionals. Shut off water supply to the zone or hose bib before connecting or removing the fitting. Hand-tighten the hose thread connections first, then snug with pliers using a strap wrench to avoid cracking the plastic body - do not overtighten. Verify local plumbing codes and backflow prevention requirements, which may mandate specific device ratings beyond this hose-thread type preventer for certain applications.
