Series 288A represents a complete line of vacuum breakers designed to prevent backsiphonage of contaminated water into a potable water supply. They feature a lightweight, durable "disc float" suitable for temperatures up to 180 deg F (82 deg C) which closes the atmospheric vent to prevent spilling under all rates of flow. Therefore, they are ideally recommended for low flow installations such as laboratory equipment which use such a small amount of water. They also contain a durable silicone disc which has high heat and water hammer shock resistance and assures tight seating with the lightest of seating contact. Full Size Orifice - Series 288A has a full-size orifice to assure pipe size capacity. Water passages are streamlined to provide high water flow with minimal pressure loss.

This 3/4 inch hose connection vacuum breaker permits the attachment of portable hoses to hose thread faucets and prevents the reverse flow of polluted water from entering into the potable water supply due to backsiphonage. It consists of a brass body construction, stainless steel working parts, a rubber diaphragm and disc, a draining stem, and a break-away set screw for tamper resistant installations. It is ideal for inside and outside, health hazard installations requiring non-continuous pressure such as service sinks, swimming pools, photo developing tanks, laundry tubs, wash racks, dairy barns, marinas, and general outside gardening uses. Check with local inspection authorities for installation requirements. Maximum pressure is 125 psi (8.6 bar).
