The chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for exposed or semi-exposed installations. Vacuum breakers of this type are a required backflow-prevention device in many residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The unit weighs 1 pound and is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians wherever potable water supply lines require atmospheric vacuum-breaker protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KL50-X138 is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where a compact, threaded atmospheric vacuum breaker is needed at an outdoor hose connection or similar fixture outlet. The chrome-plated body makes it appropriate for visible installations such as laundry, utility, and irrigation service connections. It is a direct-fit threaded device that installs without special tools in most standard hose-thread or pipe-thread configurations consistent with its 1\/2-inch size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch connection size for standard residential and light commercial plumbing fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetics in exposed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAtmospheric vacuum breaker design stops backflow caused by siphonage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight construction at 1 pound for easy field installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hose bibbs, sill cocks, and similar potable-water outlet connections\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 1\/2-inch threaded potable water outlet connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Vacuum breakers must be installed with the proper orientation and must not be installed downstream of any shutoff valve on the outlet side, as this would violate most code requirements. Do not overtighten threaded fittings; hand-tight plus standard wrench turns appropriate for the fitting material is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 887882027826\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: ZURN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KL50-X138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ZURN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234074034482,"sku":"KL50-X138","price":51.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307612326.jpg?v=1780116933","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/zurn-kl50-x138-vacuum-breaker-chrome-plated-1-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
