Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASSE standards governing backflow prevention devices. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling the faucet or removing the existing vacuum breaker. Do not overtighten fittings, as vacuum breaker housings can crack under excessive torque. After installation, restore supply pressure and verify the assembly seats and seals correctly before returning the fixture to service.
