Reliance Worldwide 0792054 Vacuum Breaker 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The RELIANCE WORLDWIDE 0792054 is a chrome-plated vacuum breaker designed to prevent backflow and protect potable water supplies from contamination caused by back-siphonage. Vacuum breakers of this type are installed on hose bibbs, sill cocks, and similar threaded outdoor water connections where a hose or other attachment could introduce non-potable water back into the supply line. The chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance on exposed installations. At 0.8 pounds, this is a compact fitting suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This vacuum breaker is commonly installed on exterior hose connections, utility faucets, and irrigation supply points where backflow protection is required by plumbing code. It is a direct-thread fitting sized at 3/4 inch, matching the standard male hose thread found on most residential sill cocks and outdoor faucets. Plumbers and plumbing inspectors commonly require this type of device on any hose-connected outlet to meet code compliance for cross-connection control.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch connection size fits standard hose bibb and sill cock outlets
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance on exposed outdoor or utility installations
• Prevents back-siphonage to protect potable water lines from contamination
• Lightweight at 0.8 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation vacuum breaker for standard 3/4 inch hose-thread connections on residential and light commercial hose bibbs and outdoor faucets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople. Shut off the water supply to the affected outlet before removing any existing device. Thread the vacuum breaker onto the male hose thread of the bibb or faucet outlet and tighten hand-tight plus a partial wrench turn — avoid over-tightening on threaded fittings to prevent cracking. Verify local plumbing code requirements, such as those under the IPC or applicable state amendments, for mandatory vacuum breaker placement on hose-connected outlets.
