Installing a retic system at your kennel?
Reticulation Cut-Ins
If you want a lush garden all year round in Perth, you’ve come to the right place. Reticulation or irrigation systems will give your plants and lawn the power to get through even the hottest of Perth summers! Before you can put in pipework, you’ll need to call a licensed plumber to install the cut-in connection to your main water line. Our fully qualified plumbers can perform all aspects of reticulation repairs and cut-in plumbing in full compliance with Western Australian laws.
If you are having a reticulation system installed, or require reticulation repairs or an upgrade, Plumbdog offers a guaranteed time of arrival across Perth and the no-fuss expertise that has made us Perth’s favourite plumbing professionals.
Retic Cut-Ins by Plumbdog – Your Trusted Plumbing Paws!
When it comes to installing a reticulation system, you need the top dogs in the field – and that’s where Plumbdog comes in. We’ve got years of experience providing top-notch retic cut-ins for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring your system is connected to the mains water supply safely and efficiently.
In Australia, only a licensed plumber is allowed to perform a “cut-in” – that’s the connection between your retic system and the Water Corporation’s mains supply. At Plumbdog, we use only high-quality materials and ensure that your system meets all the legal requirements. We also install dual check valves for backflow prevention, which keeps your water supply clean and fresh – no “barking” issues with contamination here!
Your Reticulation Plumbing Specialist
For most reticulation cut-in jobs, our plumber will expose underground copper water pipe, cut the line and insert a copper tee connection.
The pipe will then be brazed back together and the tee piece connected to a fitting that can receive both a ball valve and dual check valve, which can then be connected to a master valve. Dual check valves are now compulsory in Western Australia, functioning as a backflow prevention device to protect against contamination of your water supply.
Believe us, getting an unqualified or inexperienced plumber to do your reticulation work can be very risky as an improperly connected cut-in tap can result in you suffering water loss and a serious backflow problem. Our plumbers are qualified to service and install all types of backflow devices in accordance with WA Plumbers Licensing Board guidelines.
We also guarantee to arrive within the agreed time frame, and drive fully stocked service vans, so all your retic cut-in work is performed promptly – and in most cases in one visit.
After installing the ball valve and dual check valves, we can connect a master valve if required. We recommended this step as it prevents water loss if any of the station solenoids leak. Every time you run reticulation, the master and station valve will open, so if the station valve develops a leak you won’t lose water as long as the master valve keeps working.
For older reticulation systems that lack a master valve, we can usually fit a new master valve to the existing cut-in tap and wire it to the system control box.

We specialise in hot water systems and we can diagnose, repair, or replace most systems. Often our clients call on us to first inspect their system and this allows us provide recommendations and associated pricing to repair or replace their system. If a replacement is the recommended approach then by having one of our technicians onsite allows them to recommend the system which will suit your needs moving forwards rather simply replacing what was there before which is often a long term mistake. Once one of our repair or replacement options is accepted we can provide you with same day hot water as no one enjoys a cold shower.
We do not charge a callout fee. The way we work is that we send a fully qualified and experienced plumber to your property. Our plumber will meet you onsite and run through any issues you have, he will then give you his/her recommendations and associated pricing, and once you are happy to proceed with one of those recommendations he will get to work. Only if you choose not to proceed with one of his/her recommendations would we simply ask you for $125 inc GST to cover his/her time on site and we will leave you a written quote to consider in your own time.
