This device creates an air gap in the supply line when pressure drops, protecting potable water from contamination by atmospheric pressure differential. Weighing 0.34 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for installation by licensed plumbers in commercial or light industrial applications where backflow prevention is required at individual fixtures or equipment connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vacuum breaker is used in plumbing systems where a non-pressurized backflow prevention device is required at a fixture outlet or supply connection. Typical install scenarios include food service equipment, janitorial sinks, hose connections, and other commercial plumbing points where cross-contamination risk must be controlled. The chrome-plated finish makes it suitable for exposed or semi-exposed installations where appearance is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch connection size for standard supply line integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.34 pounds for easy handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrevents backflow and siphonage by venting to atmosphere on pressure loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suited for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style vacuum breaker replacement for 3\/8-inch plumbing supply connections in commercial and light industrial fixture applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. The vacuum breaker must be installed in the correct flow orientation and positioned above the flood level rim of the connected fixture as required by code. Do not install in a continuously pressurized application if the device is not rated for that service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 98268434408\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: COMPONENT HARDWARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KL50-X137\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"COMPONENT HARDWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233333608754,"sku":"KL50-X137","price":80.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307612330.jpg?v=1780097665","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/component-hardware-kl50-x137-vacuum-breaker-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
