The body is constructed from lead-free brass with an EPDM seal and a stainless steel spring for durable, corrosion-resistant performance. It is rated to 125 psi maximum working pressure. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians install this device as a code-required backflow prevention measure on potable water systems. It connects via FIP inlet to hose end outlet, making it a straightforward inline installation at the point of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vacuum breaker is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a hose connection is made to a potable water supply line. Typical installations include hose bibbs, utility faucets, and irrigation supply points. It is used wherever local plumbing codes require atmospheric vacuum breaker protection against contamination from hose-end backflow or siphonage events. The FIP x Hose End connection configuration fits standard threaded hose bibb outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass body meets current potable water material requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM seal provides reliable, chemical-resistant seating for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel spring resists corrosion in wet service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFIP x Hose End connections for direct hose bibb installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI A112.1.3 and ASSE standards for vacuum breaker performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation vacuum breaker for standard hose bibb and threaded hose-end supply connections requiring ANSI A112.1.3 and ASSE-compliant backflow protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC backflow prevention requirements. Shut off the water supply to the hose bibb before installing or replacing this device. Do not install the vacuum breaker in a continuously submerged or inverted orientation, as atmospheric vacuum breakers require an air inlet to function correctly. Use appropriate thread sealant on FIP connections and verify there are no leaks before returning the supply to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FIP x Hose End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI A112.1.3, ASSE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WATTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0061982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WATTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542272311602,"sku":"0061982","price":42.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/99bf7d6e5a17962480929ec31147ad63.jpg?v=1785897009","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/watts-0061982-hose-connection-vacuum-breaker-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
