It installs between a hose bib and a garden hose, creating a compliant atmospheric vacuum break that stops non-potable water or chemicals from siphoning back into the supply line. The 3\/4 inch male hose thread (MHT) inlet connects directly to the hose bib spigot, while the 3\/4 inch female hose thread (FHT) outlet accepts a standard garden hose. All-brass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance in outdoor service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vacuum breaker is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a hose bib is used near irrigation equipment, chemical injectors, or other potential contamination sources. Typical installation locations include exterior wall faucets, utility sink faucets, and landscape hose stations. Plumbers and irrigation contractors install this device to bring hose bib assemblies into compliance with plumbing codes that require backflow protection at hose thread connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch MHT x FHT connection — fits standard hose bib and garden hose threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass body construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAtmospheric vacuum breaker design prevents back-siphonage of non-potable water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact inline form factor installs without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrder increment of 1 for single-unit purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style inline replacement for standard 3\/4 inch hose thread vacuum breakers used at residential and commercial hose bib connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician should install this device in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) backflow prevention requirements. Shut off water supply to the hose bib before installation. Hand-tighten the vacuum breaker onto the hose bib spigot, then snug with pliers using a rag to protect the finish — do not overtighten brass fittings. Verify the device is oriented correctly and that the vent port faces downward per manufacturer guidance to allow proper atmospheric venting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch MHT (Male Hose Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch FHT (Female Hose Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 612052070506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQUALINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HEVB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AQUALINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396266590514,"sku":"HEVB","price":18.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312833661.jpg?v=1782828605","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/aqualine-hevb-hose-bib-vacuum-breaker-3-4-inch-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
