Arrowhead Brass PK1370 Replacement Vacuum Breaker 3/4 in

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING PK1370 is a chrome replacement vacuum breaker designed to restore backflow protection on compatible hose bib and frost-proof faucet assemblies. Vacuum breakers are critical anti-siphon devices that prevent contaminated water from being drawn back into the potable supply line. This unit features a machine thread inlet and 3/4 inch nickel plated hose threads for a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. Weighing 1.9 pounds, it is a direct service replacement intended for installation by licensed plumbers or experienced water system technicians maintaining residential or light commercial plumbing fixtures.

This vacuum breaker is intended for use as a replacement component on hose bib frost-proof faucet models in the BFPCHR series. It is suited for applications where the original vacuum breaker has failed, become damaged, or requires scheduled replacement to maintain code-compliant backflow prevention at an outdoor or utility hose connection point. The chrome finish and nickel plated hose threads make it appropriate for both exposed and semi-exposed installation environments where aesthetics and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• Direct replacement vacuum breaker restores anti-siphon backflow protection
• Chrome finish with nickel plated 3/4 inch hose threads for corrosion resistance
• Machine thread inlet for secure fitment to compatible faucet bodies
• Blister packed for clean, retail-ready or service-truck-ready storage

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement vacuum breaker for BFPCHR series frost-proof hose bib models. Confirm thread specification against the existing faucet assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC backflow prevention requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing vacuum breaker. Inspect the faucet body threads for damage or corrosion prior to threading on the replacement unit. Do not overtighten — hand-tight plus a quarter turn with pliers is typical practice for vacuum breaker fittings to avoid cracking the housing.
