About Vacuum Breakers
Vacuum Breakers are important components of a plumbing system, preventing the backflow of water or other substances from entering a potable water supply. These devices come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from 1 inch to 2 inches, and are designed to work with all kinds of fixtures.
Types of Vacuum Breakers
Vacuum breakers can be either anti-siphon or atmospheric. Anti-siphon vacuum breakers are installed at the highest point on an outdoor faucet and prevent contaminated water from entering the system, while atmospheric vacuum breakers are used to protect against back pressure. Other types include hose bibb vacuum breakers, Nidel vacuum breakers, Conbraco pressure vacuum breakers, and more.
How Vacuum Breakers are Made
Vacuum Breakers are typically made from brass or plastic components that provide durability and reliability. In addition to these materials, rubber seals and O-rings help create a tight seal that prevents any backflow of liquids or gases. Some models also come with additional features like check valves that help regulate flow.
Industries that use Vacuum Breakers
Vacuum Breakers can be found in many industries such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, hotels & resorts, hospitals & clinics and more. Professionals such as plumbers often use them when installing new fixtures or repairing existing ones in order to ensure proper protection against contamination.
