FebcoBonnet and Poppet Assembly Kit 905212 for 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch Febco 765 Valves

As one of the SE Texas residents who spent more than a day without electricity/heat and temps that dropped to 10 degrees, I was lucky that I had no water pipes burst in my home but was not so lucky with my sprinkler system. I had wrapped it and thought I shut off the valves. Unfortunately I had turned them off in November and forgot, so I ended up turning them back on. Doh! We almost never see temps this low. Last year, the temp never got below freezing.I was lucky that my neighbor was out checking on his home and saw the water spraying out of my back flow preventer and shut the valves off. Then, 34,000 gallons later, I chipped the ice off the brick and saw the parts that failed. I was lucky and grabbed the repair parts before the prices tripled.It was a very simple repair that anyone can do. This item fits the majority of Febco back flow preventers.Besides these two pieces that break the easiest, there is another white plastic part that is below the metal plate and large spring. I checked mine and that part did not fail.It took less than five minutes total to replace the parts and I’m back in business. Because of the massive number of failures in my state, people were paying hundreds of dollars for the repair.The other good thing is these replacement parts appear to be of higher quality than the parts that were in the factory part.

We busted our sprinkler back flow during a winter freeze last week. The hardware stores in Houston did not have this repair part we were looking for. I ordered it on Amazon. Although it initially showed a delivery date of 2 weeks, it was delivered within 5 days of placing the order. It was easy to install and the sprinkler system works great now.

I bought a cheaper component from a different mfg at the local big box hardware. It was made of a different plastic, about half the price. Well, it failed dramatically about 3 weeks later, cracking into pieces inside the valve. Luckily I was home at the time and could shut the water off. This part may seem expensive but the plastic is engineered to take the load, lasts years.

OEM product, easy to install, fit perfectly, no leaks. Gave three stars due to the mark up in price after the hard freeze down in Texas in 2021. Paid $20 more than normal because this item was all sold out locally. Way to take advantage of a situation.

A snapto install! I admit I watched a youtube video first but it was add easy to install as shown on youtube and the money I sacred over estimates I received to replace it, let's just say I could almost buy three of theses for what they wanted.

Pro: fits, works greatCon: Expensive fix every year or 2. Make this out of metal already!

Fit is perfect. Replaced broken water main valve during hard freeze and Amazon had our parts in stock.

Perfect and exactly as described with the added bonus of being sold by a small business.
