Sloan 323016 V-500-AA Vacuum Breaker Flushometer

Product Description

The SLOAN 323016 is a V-500-AA vacuum breaker designed for use with flushometer-style flush valves in commercial and institutional plumbing systems. This component prevents backflow by breaking any siphon that could draw contaminated water back into the potable supply line. Constructed from brass with a polished chrome finish, it meets the durability demands of high-use restroom environments. Licensed plumbers install this part as a required backflow-prevention device on flushometer-equipped toilets and urinals. Domestically sourced, it is a direct-fit replacement intended to restore proper vacuum breaker function.

This vacuum breaker is suited for commercial restrooms, schools, healthcare facilities, and any other application where Sloan or compatible flushometer valves are installed. It is typically replaced during routine flushometer service or when backflow prevention components show wear, corrosion, or code-compliance failure. The polished chrome finish matches standard commercial trim and requires no additional finishing work after installation.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in high-cycle plumbing environments
• Polished chrome finish for a clean, professional appearance on exposed flushometer trim
• Functions as a backflow-prevention device by breaking siphon on flushometer supply lines
• Direct replacement vacuum breaker restores code-compliant operation

Compatibility

Designed for use with flushometer-style flush valves. Install only where confirmed compatible with the existing flushometer assembly. Verify fitment against the installed valve model before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC backflow-prevention requirements. Shut off the water supply to the flushometer before disassembly and relieve any residual line pressure. Use appropriate plumbing wrenches and avoid over-tightening brass fittings, which can crack the body or damage threads. Confirm the assembly is leak-free and that the vacuum breaker vents properly before returning the fixture to service.
