Stop risking backflow and service interruptions. This vacuum breaker unit mounts securely and controls back-siphonage for plumbing runs that require reliable atmospheric protection. Designed for commercial sinks and fixtures, it provides straightforward installation and consistent performance for food service environments.
#@@# 1/2 Inch Piping#@#
This unit connects to 1/2 inch IPS piping, matching common commercial fixture supply lines for faucet and shower assemblies. The standard size reduces the need for adapters and simplifies integration into existing plumbing runs.
#@@# Slip Flange Mounting#@#
Installers will appreciate slip flanges that allow surface mounting on flat panels or bulkheads without altering pipe alignment. The flanges position the unit flush to mounting planes and facilitate quick service access.
#@@# Six Inch Spacing#@#
The vacuum breaker specifies 6 inches between piping centers, ensuring consistent clearance for fixture connections in tight backbar or wall installations. Designers can plan valve and supply routing with predictable offsets to maintain code compliance.
#@@# Atmospheric Protection#@#
The device provides atmospheric venting to prevent back-siphonage under negative pressure events, protecting potable water lines and downstream fixtures. Facilities maintain water quality and reduce cross-contamination risk through passive operation that activates automatically when needed.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
The assembly occupies minimal space and suits congested service areas such as prep stations, bar lines, or utility rooms. Technicians can mount the unit in constrained cavities while leaving room for adjacent valves and controls.
#@@# Commercial Durability#@#
Manufactured to meet trade expectations, the unit weighs approximately 3.86 pounds and uses robust materials appropriate for repeated service cycles. Facility managers receive a component that withstands commercial use and minimizes replacement frequency.
