Woodford 50HA-BR Brass Vacuum Breaker For Models 22, 27, 30, 67.
The Woodford 50HA-BR Vacuum Breaker is a crucial component used in outdoor faucets and hydrants. Here’s a brief description:
-
Purpose: The vacuum breaker prevents backflow of water from the faucet or hydrant into the potable water supply. It ensures that contaminated water cannot flow back, maintaining water safety.
-
Material: The 50HA-BR is made of high-quality brass, which provides durability and corrosion resistance. Brass is commonly used for outdoor fixtures due to its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
-
Design: It features a quarter-turn handle for easy operation. Turning the handle clockwise opens the valve, allowing water flow, while turning it counterclockwise closes the valve.
-
Anti-Siphon Feature: The 50HA-BR includes an anti-siphon vacuum breaker, which prevents backflow. When water pressure drops (e.g., due to a water main break), the vacuum breaker opens to allow air into the system, preventing backflow.
