Description
The T&S Brass BL-5550-09 Anti-Siphon Vacuum Breaker is a critical safety device designed for specialized laboratory plumbing. Featuring a 3/8″ NPT Male inlet and Female outlet, this component provides essential backflow protection by preventing contaminated water from siphoning back into the supply lines. It is specifically intended for non-potable applications and use as a non-continuous pressure device. Built to T&S’s rigorous industrial standards, it provides a reliable and necessary link in maintaining facility-wide safety protocols.
Technician’s Note: This vacuum breaker is designed for “non-continuous” pressure—meaning the downstream side must always be open to atmosphere (such as a spout outlet). Do not install shut-off valves downstream of this device. Periodically inspect the internal float and seal for mineral buildup to ensure the air inlet vents correctly when water flow is terminated.
