vacuum breaker

I am a DIY home owner in Michigan under the 2015 IPC. I sent my inspector a "How does this look?" picture via email. He responded that the hot water storage tank needs a vacuum relief valve. The code he is referring is "P2804.7 Vacuum-relief valve" and is referenced below. I attached a picture...

I found the pictured hose bib on the back of a stand-alone garage built shortly before we purchased our property in 2017. I've lived with it, but finally decided to swap it our for the correct fixture so I could add a pressure regulator and stop bursting the leader hose to the timer. I...

I need to locate new vacuum breakers for a customer of mine. The vacuum breakers are spraying on the side of the home.

I have a vacuum breaker on my spigot in the backyard. When you turn off the spigot it sprays water. Not dripping, not a little spurt, but high pressure spraying from the hose side of the vacuum breaker. Once the water is completely off, and the pressure has died off from the hose, it stops...

I understand that vacuum breaker is required for outdoor hose bibb, but I had an old bibb with the vacuum breaker attached to the end, and I was having issues with it splashing water when closing the bibb with hose attached. Recently I had it replaced with Arrow-breaker bibb that had a vacuum...

Hi There, I'm installing a new hot water tank. Vacuum breakers are a code requirement in my area (as are Pressure Reducing Valves). I wanted to add a thermal expansion tank. After much discussion/research I think it is best to put it on the cold water line. BUT if the vacuum breaker is between...

Arrowhead is way behind shipping the vacuum breaker replacements for the BK1390. Everywhere I went in the Seattle area, they were backordered. This is what they look like. It's a fine thread on the top, and a hose thread at the bottom. For now, it looks like I will be replacing the entire...

Hey Folks, I'm up at my folks place for Fathers day and they asked me to take a look at the leaking guest room toilet. I replaced the duckbill valve in the upper supply group about 6 months ago the last time it was dribbling. Well, now the dribble is coming out of the vacuum breaker...
