This component protects potable water supply lines by introducing air into the system when negative pressure occurs, stopping contaminated water from being drawn back into the supply. It is typically installed on flush valve bodies and similar applications where backflow prevention is required by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle this type of replacement during routine maintenance or fixture upgrades. The assembly measures 1.5 inches by 17.5 inches and weighs under 1 pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vacuum breaker assembly is suited for use in commercial restroom environments where Sloan flush valve systems are installed. Typical applications include water closets and urinal flush valves in high-traffic facilities such as schools, hospitals, office buildings, and hospitality venues. It is intended as a direct replacement component when the existing vacuum breaker shows signs of wear, leaking, or fails to hold pressure integrity during service checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackflow prevention through vacuum-breaking action when negative pressure is detected\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact assembly at 1.5 inches x 17.5 inches for flush valve compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction at approximately 0.91 pounds for easy handling during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM-style replacement designed for drop-in serviceability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for high-cycle commercial flush valve installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement vacuum breaker assembly for commercial flush valve systems.
