Raindrip Inc R620CT 3/4 Inch Anti-siphon Vacuum Breaker 10 Pack

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R620CT is a 3/4-inch hose-to-hose anti-siphon vacuum breaker designed to prevent backflow and protect potable water supplies from contamination. This type of device installs between a hose bib and a garden hose or irrigation line, breaking any siphon that could draw non-potable water back into the supply line. It is a code-required component in many residential and light commercial irrigation setups. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians install these devices to meet local backflow prevention requirements. The R620CT ships in a package of 10 units, making it practical for contractors servicing multiple properties or maintaining drip irrigation systems at scale.

The R620CT is suited for residential and light commercial drip irrigation, soaker hose systems, and hose-end connections where backflow protection is required. It connects inline on a standard 3/4-inch hose thread fitting and is appropriate for use at exterior hose bibs, timer connections, and similar points of use. Irrigation contractors and plumbers typically specify anti-siphon vacuum breakers at every hose connection point where the hose may be submerged or left in contact with soil or fertilizer solutions.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch hose-thread inlet and outlet for standard garden hose connections
• Anti-siphon vacuum breaker design prevents backflow into potable water supply
• Packaged in quantities of 10, reducing per-unit cost for multi-site contractors
• Compact inline form factor fits between hose bib and irrigation line without tools in most installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on component for standard 3/4-inch hose-thread irrigation and hose-end connections at residential and light commercial hose bibs.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the hose bib before connecting or removing any inline device. Thread the R620CT onto the hose bib outlet and connect the downstream hose or irrigation line to the outlet end, hand-tightening and then snugging with pliers — do not overtighten threaded hose fittings. Local plumbing codes, including the IPC, typically require backflow prevention at all hose connections where a cross-connection risk exists. Inspect the vacuum breaker periodically for mineral buildup or seal wear, which can compromise its backflow protection function.
