Product Overview
The Dekorra 301-BG-C2 is an insulated polyethylene enclosure with a brown granite finish for compatible backflow assemblies and pressure vacuum breakers. Its two-piece lift-off design provides equipment access while foam insulation and ventilation components help reduce exposure to cold weather and outdoor conditions.
This enclosure is often used where backflow protection equipment needs a more landscape-friendly appearance than a plain utility cover, while still allowing access for inspection and service. The complete backflow assembly should be measured before ordering, including shutoff valves, test cocks, unions, pipe offsets, elevation above the pad, and service clearance around the device. The general assembly range is only a guide because field piping can change the required enclosure footprint and height. Freeze-retardant protection also depends on local temperatures, wind exposure, installation quality, and winterization practices, so this enclosure should not be treated as a substitute for draining or heat protection where those steps are required.

FAQ:
What size backflow assemblies can it cover?
It can accommodate many 3/4 in. to 2 in. assemblies, but the complete installed dimensions must be checked before ordering.
Can the enclosure be removed for service?
Yes. The two-piece design lifts off for access to the protected equipment.
Does this enclosure eliminate the need to winterize?
No. It helps reduce cold-weather exposure, but winterization requirements depend on the climate, installation, and local practices.
